MRI fat fraction (FF, Dixon) and % enhancement (DCE) measurements in vivo in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) were correlated with intracellular fat (Oil Red O), lipidomic profile (mass spectrometry), and cellular metabolomics of tissue samples isolated from anatomically co-registered locations in the same tumor. In vivo FF correlated positively with histologic fat content, spectrometric cholesterol and triglycerides; and negatively with spectrometric free fatty acids and phospholipids. ISUP grade 2 and 3 tumors exhibited marked intra-tumoral heterogeneity in FF whereas grade 4 tumors had reduced lipid accumulation. MRI-derived FF and % enhancement correlated with altered metabolic features of ccRCC.
