Accurate quantification of proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2* requires appropriate compensation of various confounding factors. A stability study was performed to investigate the impacts of different protocols and imaging parameters using both breath-hold Cartesian and free breathing radial sequences on a standardized phantom and a group of 5 same normal subjects at both 1.5T and 3T. This study revealed that flip angle, TE mode and coil usage were important protocol parameters to investigate further in larger patient population.
