Direct Virtual Coil (DVC) has been previously demonstrated to be an efficient method to reduce computation time for data-driven parallel imaging. It has also been shown that DVC preserves phase information, and is compatible with phase-sensitive applications, such as 2-pt Dixon qualitative water-fat separation. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of DVC for quantitative fat fraction imaging.
