Quantitative Assessment of Intrahepatic Lipids Using Fat-Selective
Imaging With Spectral-Spatial Excitation and In-/Opposed-Phase Gradient Echo Imaging Techniques Within a Study Population of
Extremely Obese Patients
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of 2 established magnetic resonance imaging based techniques to quantify intrahepatic lipids (IHL) within a study population of extremely obese patients by
means of a short, wide-bore MR scanner.
