The aim of this work was to assess chemical shift-encoded MRI (CSE-MRI) method to quantify content and composition changes of fat storage in healthy volunteers during a 31 days overfeeding protocol while comparing CSE-MRI results with DEXA, MRS and Gas chromatography measurements. A total of 21 volunteers underwent a NMR protocol at 3T with an axial 3D CSE-MRI on abdominal region and spectroscopy acquired on subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue and liver. The NMR protocol was used to analyze the volume and the fatty acid composition of abdominal adipose tissues, and the fat content in the liver.
