Comparison of MR Spectroscopy, 2-Point Dixon, and Multi-Echo T2* Sequences in Assessing Hepatic Fat Fraction Across a Diverse Range of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference Ratio (WCR) Values
Robust correlations were observed between MR spectroscopy, 2-point Dixon, and multi-echo T2* methods for liver fat fraction measurement, especially in patients with higher BMI and WCR. These findings highlight the importance of BMI and WCR in interpreting fat fraction measurements, as method performance can vary across body composition profiles.
