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. Here we
compare the estimates of water and fat T2 and proton
density fat fraction (PDFF) given by the multi-TR,
multi-TE sequence with those given by the current MRS
standard: a long-TR, multi-TE sequence. We find good
agreement between the sequence estimates of PDFF and
water T2. However there is little agreement for fat T2.
