Biopsy-proven Nonsteatotic Liver in Adults: Estimation of Reference Range for Difference in Attenuation between the Liver and the Spleen at Nonenhanced CT

Abstract

The histologically proved reference range of CT(L-S) values for nonsteatotic livers was 1-18 HU. A CT(L-S) of less than 1 HU could be used as a conservative criterion for diagnosing hepatic steatosis with nonenhanced CT more consistently.
