Introduction A Low Glycaemic Index (LGI) diet is a proposed lifestyle intervention in non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) which is designed to reduce circulating blood glucose levels, hepatic glucose influx, insulin resistance and de novo lipo...

The role of hepatic lipid composition in obesity-related metabolic disease (2021)
Journal Article
Willis, S. A., Bawden, S., Malaikah, S., Sargeant, J. A., Stensel, D. J., Aithal, G. P., & King, J. A. (2021). The role of hepatic lipid composition in obesity-related metabolic disease. Liver International, 41(12), 2819-2835. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.15059

Obesity is a primary antecedent to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease whose cardinal feature is excessive hepatic lipid accumulation. Although total hepatic lipid content closely associates with hepatic and systemic metabolic dysfunction, accumulating...

Calibration-free regional RF shims for MRS (2021)
Journal Article
Berrington, A., Považan, M., Mirfin, C., Bawden, S., Park, Y. W., Marsh, D. C., …Gowland, P. A. (2021). Calibration-free regional RF shims for MRS. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 86(2), 611-624. https://doi.org/10.1002/mrm.28749

Purpose: Achieving a desired RF transmit field (B1+) in small regions-of-interest (ROIs) is critical for single-voxel MR spectroscopy at ultra-high field. RF shimming, using parallel transmission, requires B1+ mapping and optimisation, which limits i... Read More about Calibration-free regional RF shims for MRS.

Metabolic Imaging in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (2021)
Journal Article
Thiagarajan, P., Bawden, S. J., & Aithal, G. P. (2021). Metabolic Imaging in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Journal of Clinical Medicine, 10(4), Article 632. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm10040632

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is poised to dominate the landscape of clinical hepatology in the 21st century. Its complex, interdependent aetiologies, non-linear disease progression and uncertain natural history have presented great chall...
