| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is divided into two types: simple fatty liver and Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Pathology evaluation for NAFLD has been mainly performed by liver biopsy, blood test and form information of diagnostic imaging. In this study, an objective diagnostic index was established by functional imaging information from a point of view of a relationship to pathology. Moreover, a new method was proposed for the evaluation using functional information of the liver and the skeletal muscle which control glycolipid metabolism. This method is our original and not has been presented in previous studies.
