Abstract
Liver biopsy remains a gold standard for evaluation of steatosis. CT LAI of ≤0 correlates well with significant hepatic steatosis and biopsy may be avoided in such cases. Biopsy may be reserved for patients with CT LAI between 1 and 5. BMI alone is not a good predictor of hepatic steatosis in our study population.
