Résumé
In living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), fatty liver adversely affects the outcome in donors or in recipients. The attenuation imaging (ATI) may be valuable for detecting fatty liver in potential liver donors. We aimed to investigate the role of ATI in screening liver donors. In this prospective study, potential liver donors undergoing MR examination, including proton MR spectroscopy ( A total of 102 participants (median age, 37 [range, 20-61] years; 65 men) were enrolled. Nineteen participants (18.6%) had significant fatty liver on ATI showed good diagnostic performance with a high negative predictive value for the detection of significant fatty liver among potential liver donors.
