The liver is diffusely hypodense due to extreme fatty infiltration. Note the attenuation is near equal to the gallbladder.
Small left ovarian cyst. No other abnormality.

In cases of moderate-severe fatty infiltration of the liver, the liver is isodense with the gallbladder (containing bile). This may informally be termed "gallbladder equalization". This CT is a good example of this growing trend.
