  • Title: [Attenuation values of normal and pathological liver tissue as a basis for computer tomographic densitometry of fatty livers (author's transl)].
    Author: Schmitt WG, Hübener KH.
    Journal: Rofo; 1978 Nov; 129(5):555-9. PubMed ID: 152262.
    Abstract:
    Measurements of the density of normal and diffusely disease liver parenchyma show a significant difference only in the presence of fatty livers. A linear relationship between the fat content and density (g/cm3) has been demonstrated. Computer tomographic densitometry of liver tissue correlates well with physical in vitro measurements and permits measurements of fat content which are sufficiently accurate for clinical use. Other types of liver disease cannot be differentiated by densitometry.
