To assess the feasibility in diabetics in a primary care setting of screening for NAFLD and advanced fibrosis, by using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to estimate the hepatic proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to estimate hepatic stiffness.
Description: Evaluation of liver fat fraction and liver stiffness, as determined by magnetic resonance imaging, are associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease, as evaluated by coronary artery calcium scan in diabetics
Measure: Percentage of Liver Fat as Measured by MRI-PDFF Time: BaselineCohort
