The aim of our study was to validate a 3.0T MRI method
for quantifying triglyceride fatty acid (FA)
composition. A 3D spoiled gradient multiple echoes
sequence was used to acquire magnitude and phase images.
Native phase images were corrected for wrap, zero- and
first-order phase to rebuild the real part images. A
model built upon a nine component fat 1H MR spectrum was
used to derive three FA composition related parameters:
the number of double bonds (ndb), the chain length (CL)
and the number of methylene interrupted double bond
(nmidb). Linear regressions showed a strong agreement
between ndb, nmidb quantified with MRI on eight
vegetables oils and the theoretical values calculated
using oil composition. Measurements performed in the
liver, in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues were
consistent with previously published data.
