Hepatic fat fraction measurements using Dixon MRI and stiffness measurements using MRE provide important liver fat and fibrosis biomarkers for evaluating liver diseases. We have developed Dixon MR Elastography to measure fat fraction and stiffness in a single acquisition. In addition, by also using variable flip angles this new technique can simultaneously measure stiffness, T1, and fat fraction, thus providing even more clinically useful information in one scan. Promising results were obtained in a fat/water/gel phantom and six healthy volunteers.
