Popis: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging-estimated proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) using a free-drawn region-of-interest (ROI) measurement of hepatic fat deposition compared to MR spectroscopy (MRS) as the reference standard. A total of 156 patients underwent 3T MR imaging with a multi-step adaptive fitting approach, multi-echo volume interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) acquisition and single-voxel high-speed T2-corrected multiple-echo 1H-MR spectroscopy (SVS). Seven ROI measurements were performed in each segment of the fat percentage maps (“segmental-PDFF”). Three ROIs were placed at the same level as the SVS (“VOI-PDFF”). Free-hand-drawn ROIs were placed at three different levels along the entire liver (“free-drawn-PDFF”) and separately along the right and left lobes (“free-drawn-PDFF-2”). A strong correlation was found between VOI-PDFF and SVS (r = 0.977). The right lobe had greater fat content than the left lobe (p
