Purpose Our purpose was to assess the fat fraction (FF)
and R2* values (R2*) of the vertebrae in healthy
subjects with IDEAL-IQ. Materials and Methods 75
patients underwent MRI including IDEAL-IQ and the mean
FF and the mean R2* within the spine were evaluated.
ANCOVA was performed to investigate gender age and BMI
group differences. Results FF increased with advancing
age and interaction with gender. Young females showed a
low FF. The group of low BMI showed a low FF. Conclusion
The quantitative analysis of the vertebrae with IDEAL-IQ
can demonstrate those age gender and BMI-related
changes.
