Does chemical-shift fat-water MRI with a signal model based on reference fat from pure adipose tissue allow computation of absolute fat mass in ex vivo swine samples?
A novel signal model based on reference fat from pure adipose tissue demonstrates feasibility for computing absolute fat mass using chemical-shift fat-water MRI in ex vivo swine samples.
Preliminary results in ex vivo swine samples demonstrated the feasibility of computing absolute fat mass as a quantitative endpoint using chemical-shift fat-water MRI with a signal model based on reference fat from pure adipose tissue.
