The estimation of PDFF by CSE imaging may be biased by
T1 relaxation. T1 related bias can be minimized by using
a small flip angle (SFA) approach. SFA results in
reduced SNR and residual bias. T1 bias can also be
corrected using a dual flip angle method (standard DFA),
which redundantly estimates R2* and B0 twice. In this
study, we propose a joint fitting of T1, B0, R2* and
PDFF based on dual-flip-angle acquisition (joint DFA).
Joint DFA slightly reduced noise in R2* and PDFF
estimates compared with standard DFA as shown by
Cramer-Rao lower bound and Monte Carlo simulation.
