Abstract  Fat deposition is one of the important pathological processes and intermediate links of numerous diseases, involving its’ occurrence and development. Histopathological examination is the gold standard for evaluating the degree of steatosis quantitatively, but its clinical application is limited due to its own defects, such as invasive, poor reproducibility and differences between observers. Recently, noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) for evaluating fat content quantitatively has been developed rapidly and are reviewed in this paper.
