I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes 8 years ago this month and then it was found by chance 2 years ago after having an US scan that fatty liver showed up on it. Because it was also found that I had a liver cyst I then had an MRI as they wanted to look at the cyst in more detail but to cut a long story short, it was all fine in the end. What I would like to know is - having had an MRI scan, would this be able to see how bad my fatty liver is? ie whether there was any scarring (fibrosis) as I understand that a Fibroscan is really the only way of telling but I can't seem to get one because my GP doesn't think I need one but not sure if that is because of how expensive they are or what.
