The
multi-peak structure of the fat 1H MR spectrum allows the
triglyceride composition in adipose tissue to be estimated non-invasively. We
assess the ability of 1H MR spectroscopy to reproducibly provide
information about triglyceride composition in adipose tissue in vivo at
clinical field strengths.
