BACKGROUND: Hepatic steatosis (HS) can be comprehensively assessed by visually comparing the hepatic and vessel attenuation on unenhanced computed tomography (CT). We aimed to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of a CT-based visual grading system (VGS) for comprehensive assessment of HS.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, a four-point VGS based on the visual comparison of liver and hepatic vessels was validated by six reviewers with diverse clinical experience using the unenhanced CT images of 717 potential liver donors. The diagnostic performance of VGS and quantitative indices (difference and ratio of the hepatic and splenic attenuation) to diagnose HS were evaluated using multi-reader multi-case receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis (reference: pathology). The interobserver agreement was assessed using Fleiss κ statistics.
RESULTS: Using the VGS, all six reviewers showed areas under the ROC curves (AUROCs) higher than 0.9 for diagnosing total steatosis (TS) ≥ 30%, macrovesicular steatosis (MaS) ≥ 30%, and MaS ≥ 10%. No difference was noted between the AUROCs of the VGS and quantitative indices (p ≥ 0.1). The reviewers showed substantial agreement (Fleiss κ, 0.61). Most discrepancies occurred between the two lowest grades of VGS (81.5%; 233/283), in which most subjects (97.0%; 226/233) had a MaS < 10%. The average-reader sensitivity and specificity of the VGS were 0.80 and 0.94 to detect TS ≥ 30% and 0.93 and 0.81 to detect MaS ≥ 10%.
CONCLUSION: VGS was reliable and reproducible in assessing HS. It may be useful as a non-invasive and simple tool for comprehensive HS assessment.
