Synopsis
Chronic liver disease is a major healthcare problem worldwide. Liver fibrosis and fat fraction are two main features of chronic liver diseases. Recent work reported that macromolecular proton fraction (MPF) mapping has potential for diagnosis of liver fibrosis. In this work, we reported a novel technique to quantify MPF and fat fraction of the liver simultaneously in a brief breath hold.
