A total of 39 volunteers underwent an imaging and spectroscopy protocol on a 3T Ingenia Philips system with an axial 3D spoiled-gradient multiple echo sequence on abdominal region and a set of three STEAM sequences acquired on subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue and liver. The quantification of Proton density fat fraction (PDFF), proportion of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA) or polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids from both MRI and MRS methods were compared. Good correlation with a little bias was found for the liver PDFF. Values of PUFA, MUFA and SFA from both techniques were poorly correlated.
