This paper describes the clinical implementation of a
fast, single-voxel spectroscopy technique for
quantifying hepatic lipid fraction and evaluating iron
content. The single breath hold technique was performed
in consecutive patients, and analyzed retrospectively in
comparison to a multi-point 3D Dixon lipid
quantification method. The two methods show excellent
agreement for quantifying lipid fraction, and estimating
iron content.
