Liver fat quantification: Comparison of dual-echo and triple-echo chemical shift MRI to MR spectroscopy

摘要

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic value of MRI using dual-echo (2PD) and triple-echo (3PD) chemical shift imaging for liver fat quantification against multi-echo T-2 corrected MR spectroscopy (MRS) used as the reference standard, and examine the effect of T-2(*) imaging on accuracy of MRI for fat quantification.
