mDixon-Quant adopts a multi-echo 3D fast GRE sequence that can be used to obtain fat fraction, T2* and R2* mapping in a single breath hold. The variation of deoxyhemoglobin in the kidney can reflect the oxygen metabolism in patients with diabetic nephropathy under pathological and physiological conditions. FF maps can be used for fat quantification. mDixon-Quant provides the assessment both fat metabolism and oxygen metabolism of the kidney at the same time and may be valuable in detecting changes in renal function and pathology.
