Abstract
We reveal the chemical shift MR findings of unusual patterns of hepatic steatosis caused by the local effect of insulin. Unusual patterns of hepatic steatosis can be seen on MR imaging. Such patterns result from localized high concentrations of insulin. A rim of hepatic steatosis surrounding insulinoma metastases and a subcapsular distribution of hepatic steatosis in patients with diabetes treated with peritoneal dialysis are two such patterns that can be revealed on chemical shift imaging.
