Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver. Previous studies have showed that the presence of intra-tumoral fat has more favorable prognosis of HCC. We aim to compare the diagnostic accuracy of chemical shift encoded fat-fraction at three different flip angles (FA) 3°, 8° and 9°using IDEAL-IQ, in comparison to chemical shift imaging (IOP) to evaluate intra-tumoral fat in HCC.Our results showed higher positive rates of detection of intra-tumoral fat in HCC with IOP (100%) compared to IDEAL IQ at FA 3° (44.4%), FA 8° (55.6%) and FA 9° (88.9%).
