This work demonstrates anatomic and parametric water-fat imaging of adipose tissues in post mortem mice at 9.4 T with spatial resolution (156 m isotropic) substantially higher than previous studies. Anatomic and fat fraction images were used to segment different adipose tissue compartments (e.g., visceral vs. subcutaneous); fat fraction and R2* maps were used to distinctly identify brown adipose tissue depots. This approach is applicable for finely-segmented quantitative volumetry of brown and white adipose tissue depots.
