The proton resonance frequency (PRF) of water depends on
temperature, whereas the PRF of triglycerides is
temperature independent (aside from bulk susceptibility
effects). This leads to a temperature dependence of the
frequency shift between fat and water resonances, which
may introduce errors in chemical shift-encoded (CSE) fat
quantification methods that assume a known relative
shift between the PRF of water and fat. In this work, we
characterize the confounding effect of temperature on
CSE fat quantification. Further, we demonstrate that a
temperature-corrected spectral model of fat can be used
to avoid these errors.
