Exemplary MRI images of ectopic fat quantification. (A) Quantification of hepatic fat fraction. The dual-echo Dixon sequence shows the region of interest (orange square) placed in the liver parenchyma on the level of the portal vein. Results of the multi-echo spectroscopy are displayed as graph and colored bar. (B) Quantification of pancreatic fat fraction. Using a multi-echo Dixon-VIBE sequence, circular regions of interest were drawn into the pancreatic caput (B1), corpus (B2) cauda (B3) and resulting proton-density fat fractions were averaged. (C) Quantification of renal sinus fat fraction. Displayed is the overlay of renal sinus segmentation with Water-Only (C1) and Fat-Only (C2) Dixon images.
