Primary outcomePrimary: Percentage of Liver Fat Content on MRI in Patients With Serious Post-operative Complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥IV) — 1.3; 13.6 Percentage of liver fat content
Summary
The purpose of this study is to objectively quantify liver fat content (LFC) by Magnetic Resonant Imaging (MRI) prior to major liver surgery, and to investigate its association with post-operative complications.
