We present a test-object for assessment of fat
suppression across a large field of view in diffusion-weighted-MRI (DW-MRI).
The test-object is a Perspex cylinder (diameter 185 mm, height 300 mm) filled
with corn oil and inner water-filled cylinder (140 mm). We demonstrate that
corn oil is suitable for investigation of spectrally-selective and
T1-dependent methods.
