  •   Objective  To investigate the application value of liver/spleen CT value (CTL/S), controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with hepatic steatosis.  Methods  A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 213 CHB patients who underwent liver CT, CAP, and MRI-PDFF examinations in Affiliated Hospital of Yan’an University from October 2018 to December 2022. According to MRI-PDFF, the 213 patients were divided into CHB group with 111 patients (MRI-PDFF<5%) and CHB+hepatic steatosis group with 102 patients (MRI-PDFF≥5%), among whom there were 69 patients with mild hepatic steatosis and 33 patients with moderate to severe hepatic steatosis. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups. The Bland-Altman plot was used to evaluate the consistency in MRI-PDFF measurement between two physicians. The Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between CTL/S and MRI-PDFF and between CAP and MRI-PDFF. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to investigate the value of CTL/S and CAP in the diagnosis of different degrees of hepatic steatosis, and the DeLong test was used to compare the AUCs of the two radiological examinations.  Results  MRI-PDFF had relatively high repeatability and stability in CHB patients. There is a significant negative correlation between CTL/S and MRI-PDFF (r=-0.800, P<0.001) and a significant positive correlation between CAP and MRI-PDFF (r=0.692, P<0.001). Both CTL/S and CAP had a relatively high accuracy in the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis in CHB patients, with an AUC of 0.951 and 0.902, respectively, and CTL/S had a better accuracy than CAP (P<0.05). In the diagnosis of mild and moderate-to-severe hepatic steatosis, CTL/S had an AUC of 0.921 and 0.895, respectively, and CAP had an AUC of 0.859 and 0.825, respectively, suggesting that CTL/S had a slightly higher diagnostic efficiency than CAP.  Conclusion  MRI-PDFF has high repeatability and stability in CHB patients, and CTL/S and CAP have a high diagnostic value for different degrees of hepatic steatosis in CHB patients.
