Phase-contrast in areas with a significant fat signal is subject to chemical shift artifacts where the fat signal interferes with the neighboring water signal. The purpose of this work is to present a novel three-point Dixon method that preserves the phase information in water and fat images and combines this method with phase-contrast to obtain water-fat concentration and velocity images from a single acquisition. We validate our method using a numerical phantom and MRI acquired in volunteers. Phase-contrast three-point Dixon and standard methods showed equivalent results comparing different ROIs of the PDFF using NRMSE.
