Machine learning enables new insights into clinical significance of and genetic contributions to liver fat accumulation
2020-09-03
Abstract excerpt
Excess accumulation of liver fat – termed hepatic steatosis when fat accounts for > 5.5% of liver content – is a leading risk factor for end-stage liver disease and is strongly associated with important cardiometabolic disorders. Using a truth dataset of 4,511 UK Biobank participants with liver fat previously quantified via abdominal MRI imaging, we developed a machine learning algorithm to quantify liver fat with...
