The purpose of this study was to detect organ-specific
changes in fat-water signal over the course of high
fat/high fructose diet consumption. The effect of the
diet was evaluated exposing a canine animal model to the
diet and measurements were acquired using the
quantitative method of fat-water MRI (FWMRI), with
interleaved multiecho pulse sequence. This technique is
a promising new imaging modality for the research areas
of obesity and metabolic diseases. Results indicate that
liver and subcutaneous tissues fat fraction increased
over the course of the study, consistent with the
development of obesity comorbidities such as type 2
Diabetes Mellitus.
