Exploring Liver and Muscle Fat Content Using MRI

The aim of our study was to compare the difference of fatty infiltration in liver and muscle using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between overweight as well as obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases and body mass index (BMI)-matched women without PCOS, identifying the possible influence factors.
