Dr. Robin Goel | |
Background: Hepatic steatosis (HS), another name for fatty liver disease (FLD), is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of lipids, especially triglycerides, in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. The present study was conducted to assess fatty liver disease using USG and CT scan. Materials & Methods:106 cases of fatty liver disease of both genders were selected and ultrasound (USG) and CT scans were taken. Results: Out of 106 patients, 60 were males and 46 were females.FLD grading was grade I in 62, grade II in 28 and grade III in 16 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Liver CTHFN mean HU in grade I was 45.1 HU, in grade II was 26.4 HU and in grade III was 3.7 HU. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Findings from USG and CT scans were both useful in diagnosing fatty liver disease. |
