A novel dual-echo, Dixon MR Elastography technique was developed to simultaneously measure the liver stiffness and separate fat/water signal. Phantom tests showed that the fat signal fraction and the stiffness measured with this technique were consistent with the values measured with separate MR spectroscopy and standard MR Elastography acquisitions. Promising results were also obtained in a healthy volunteer.
