Diabetes Mellitus has a high prevalence which, according to the World Health Organization, affects more than 300 million people worldwide and appears as an important cause of morbidity and death in many countries of the western world. In this work, ME-GRE and IVIM imaging are applied to non-invasively identify biomarkers of NAFLD in the context of liver complications associated with Type II Diabetes Mellitus.
