This work demonstrates anatomic and parametric water-fat
imaging of adipose tissues in post mortem mice at 9.4 T
with spatial resolution (156 m isotropic) substantially
higher than previous studies. Anatomic and fat fraction
images were used to segment different adipose tissue
compartments (e.g., visceral vs. subcutaneous); fat
fraction and R2* maps were used to distinctly identify
brown adipose tissue depots. This approach is applicable
for finely-segmented quantitative volumetry of brown and
white adipose tissue depots.
