Comparative StudyComparison of R2* correction methods for accurate fat quantification in fatty liver.
To compare the performance of fat fraction quantification using single-R(2)* and dual-R(2)* correction methods in patients with fatty liver, using MR spectroscopy (MRS) as the reference standard. ⋯ Single-R(2)* modeling is more accurate than dual-R(2)* modeling for hepatic fat quantification in patients, even in those with high hepatic fat concentrations.
