[Abstract] Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has increased in recent years rapidly shows a younger age trend, although it is a benign disease but can affect the progress of other chronic liver diseases and its development may lead to liver failure. Quantitative analysis using MR imaging technology is the focus of current research. As a noninvasive method to diagnose fatty liver quantitatively, 1H-MRS and mDixon techniques can help clinicians to treat liver cells of fatty degeneration to be able to return to normal in a timely manner. This paper reviews the application of 1H-MRS and mDixon techniques in quantitative assessment of liver fat content in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
