A 3D radial-encoding MP2RAGE sequence was developed with binomial pulses within the GRE trains. These give the possibility to obtain water-specific, fat- specific or composite 3D T1-maps of the abdominal cavity during free-breathing in less than 10 minutes. A 3D Proton Density Fat Fraction (PDFF) map can also be determined with the same scan. The T1 values are similar with the standard MP2RAGE and the PDFF correspond to the ones obtained with MR spectroscopy. A test-retest on healthy volunteers shows the good reproducibility of the method.
