Impact of hepatic vessels on whole liver proton density fat fraction and R2* quantification
The effect of hepatic vessels on proton density, fat fraction, and R2* quantification was evaluated. No significant differences were found, excluding hepatic vessels, although their inclusion showed a small negative bias. Vessel exclusion may improve clinicians' confidence and precision in high-sensitivity applications.
