We developed a rapid multi-TR, multi-TE
1
H
MRS sequence for
in
vivo
hepatic
fat quantification and characterization that acquires 32
single-average spectra in a single breath-hold. We
examined the intra-examination repeatability of the
sequence by repeating it three times in the same
location without patient repositioning. The study showed
that this single-breath-hold, multi-TR, multi-TE
sequence can measure liver water T1 and T2, fat T2, and
proton density fat fraction with high repeatability.
Repeatability for fat T1 was modest.
