Imaging of body regions containing both water-based and fat-based structures is affected by artefacts arising from the chemical shift difference between water and fat. Recently, a single-echo water-fat separation technique was proposed which used multi-band principles to generate separate water and fat images as well as chemical shift-corrected, recombined water-fat images. We demonstrate the performance of gradient-echo and turbo spin-echo variants of this approach in the knee, breasts and abdomen. The separation of water and fat was similar to or better than with current state-of-the-art techniques and chemical shift effects were fully eliminated in recombined water-fat images.
