Inhomogeneous Magnetization Transfer (ihMT) imaging is a novel enhanced magnetization transfer technique. In this study, we investigated the influence of fat (i.e. adipose tissue) and echo time on the ihMT ratio through simulation, phantom, and in vivo studies. A substantial variation on the ihMTR values in the presence of fat is illustrated, depending on the echo times used.
