Intended Use

HepaFatSmart is intended for quantitative measurement of volumetric liver fat fraction (VLFF), proton density fat fraction (PDFF), and steatosis grading using MRI.

Technology

HepaFatSmart is a cloud-based or onsite AI-assisted software that takes DICOM MRI datasets acquired via a specific GRE protocol; employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) for liver ROI detection; applies algorithmic modules to compute Alpha, VLFF, PDFF, steatosis grade, and assesses liver iron content; generates PDF and DICOM reports with quantitative fat measurements and quality images.

Performance

Performance evaluated via repeatability and validation studies (n=42, n=300) showed HepaFatSmart has excellent agreement and substantial equivalence with predicate HepaFat-Scan for liver fat fraction measurement, with improved repeatability and specificity/sensitivity over predicate HepaFat-AI. Clinical thresholds for steatosis grades were accurately predicted with sensitivities and specificities above 90%.
