Background:Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, is characterized by fat accumulation in liver cells. The present study was conducted to evaluate fatty liver disease with USG and CT scans. Materials & Methods:84 cases of fatty liver disease of both genders were examined through ultrasonography (USG) and CT scan. Results: Out of 84 patients, males were 50 and females were 34. Fatty liver disease grading was grade I in 22, grade II in 28 and grade III in 34 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Liver CTHFN mean HU in grade I was 41.5 HU, in grade II was 25.8 HU and in grade III was 5.4 HU. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Findings from the USG and CT scan were useful in the diagnosis of fatty liver disease.Because of its low cost, safety, and accessibility, ultrasound is likely the imaging technique of choice for screening for fatty liver disease.
