We developed a rapid multi-TR, multi-TE
1
H
MRS sequence for
in
vivo
hepatic
fat quantification and characterization that acquires 32
single-average spectra in a single breath-hold. Spectra
were acquired without contrast at 3 Tesla in 55 adult
subjects who also were undergoing a clinical liver
biopsy. T1 and T2 of liver fat and water, and liver
proton density fat fraction (PDFF) were measured and
compared with histologic fibrosis stage. There were
significant differences in water T2 with fibrosis, with
higher values being associated with advanced fibrosis.
