The purpose of this work is to examine the 1.5T vs 3T
reproducibility of hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF)
measurements. Obese patients were scanned using three
distinct quantitative MR techniques on the same day at
both field strengths. Regression analysis was used to
compare co-localized 1.5T and 3T PDFF measurements. All
three techniques demonstrated very good agreement
between 1.5T and 3T liver PDFF measurements, indicating
that PDFF quantification is reproducible across field
strengths.
