Abstract

This paper describes visualisation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) at computer tomographic colonography (CTC). Definitions of NAFLD, NASH, metabolic syndrome, cryptogenic cirrhosis, and their importance in management of patients, are discussed. Images of normal liver, as well as NAFLD, seen at screening CTC, are presented and discussed in terms of their E-classification.
