Proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measurements can be confounded by small effects that are not properly accounted for in modeling. This abstract seeks to understand the empirically observed correlation between R2* and PDFF in terms of the susceptibility difference between water and fat. Numerical fitted values were found to be close to literature values for triglyceride unsaturation and magnetic susceptibility in liver.
