Chemical shift-encoded MRI (CSE-MRI) is well-established to quantify proton density fat-fraction (PDFF) as a quantitative biomarker of hepatic steatosis.1 However, temperature is known to affect the accuracy and precision of PDFF quantification.2 In this study­­­, we aim to characterize the effects of temperature on PDFF quantification using computer simulations, temperature-controlled phantom experiments, and a multi-center phantom study. Further, we present a novel method to minimize temperature-related fat quantification bias for magnitude-based CSE-MRI methods.
