The evaluation of hepatic fat by MR techniques is of
increasing interest for clinical routine. The purpose of
our study was to compare fat quantification of the liver
based on 1H spectroscopy and two different imaging based
water-fat separation methods. All methods included
correction for T2* bias. For clinical purposes a good
correlation between the different fat quantification
methods was found.
