MRE: magnetic resonance elastography; PDFF: proton density fat fraction; cT1: iron-corrected T1. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated measure ANOVA. Postsurgery values in the immediate and late postsurgery period were compared to the baseline using Dunnett’s test for multiple comparisons. is considered statistically significant. +Subcutaneous adipose tissue could not be measured for four subjects as tissue volume exceeded the region of measurement. |
