Measurement of PRFT, LFF, PFF and LSFF on MRI map. (A) The assessment of PRFT of a 49 years old femalewith grade 3 NAFLD and MetS on axial MRI fat VIBE-Dixon map. PRFT was calculated by the distance from the anterior margin of the quadratus lumborum muscle to the dorsal margin of the left kidney. (B) The two ROIs in hepatic segments VII-VIII on the PDFF map. LFF was calculated by averaging the results of 8 round ROIs in each of the hepatic segments. (C) ROI in the pancreas body on the PDFF map. The PFF was calculated by averaging the results of three ROIs on the head, body and tail of the pancreas. (D) ROI in the L1 vertebral body on the PDFF map. LSFF measurements were performed by averaging the results of two ROIs on L1-2. PRFT perirenal fat thickness, LFF liver fat fraction, PFF pancreas fat fraction, LSFF lumbar spine fat fraction
