The IDEAL based fat-water separation has not yet been
applied to chemical-shift ADC mapping, because of
several major technical challenges. Such as original
IDEAL framework may be not compatible with EPI data in
presence of significant pixel displacement due to
chemical-shift effect. To address these technical
challenges to enable chemical-shift ADC mapping, we
first evaluate the IDEAL framework in the presence of
large chemical-shift effect using both original and our
modified frameworks. Second, we integrated 1)
interleaved EPI sequence and 2) multiplexed sensitivity
encoding (MUSE) to reliably enable quantification of
chemical-shifting ADC mapping in parotid glands.
