In this study, T1ρ images of 24 rat liver samples were acquired with two types of pulse sequences: RARE and UTE. The mean T1ρ value of the rat liver with RARE was significantly higher compared to UTE (p<0.001). This study shows that the quantitative UTE-R1ρ has a better correlation with LIC than RARE-R1ρ.
