Book Chapter Description

The potential risks of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), previously termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFDL), are of concern globally. CT colonography (CTC) allows for visualisation of the liver as an extracolonic organ. It should be routine to perform opportunistic screening to accurately quantify liver fat (steatosis) on the 2D images obtained during a CTC examination. Definitions of MAFLD, NAFLD, NASH/MASH, metabolic syndrome, cryptogenic cirrhosis, and their importance in management of patients are discussed. Images of normal liver and MAFLD seen at screening CTC are presented and discussed in terms of their E-classification.
