Feasibility of Hepatic Fat Quantification Using Proton Density Fat Fraction by Multi-Echo Chemical-Shift-Encoded MRI at 7T

Fat fraction quantification and assessment of its distribution in the hepatic tissue become more important with the growing epidemic of obesity, and the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. At 3Tesla, the multi-echo, chemical-shift-encoded magnetic...
