| Description | Journal: Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (JMRI) To investigate the feasibility of estimating the proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) using a 7.1T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system and to compare the accuracy of liver fat quantification using different fitting approaches. Fourteen leptin-deficient ob/ob mice and eight intact controls were examined in a 7.1T animal scanner using a 3D six-echo chemical shift-encoded pulse sequence. Confounder-corrected PDFF was calculated using magnitude (magnitude data alone) and combined fitting (complex and magnitude data). Differences between fitting techniques were compared using Bland-Altman analysis. In addition, PDFFs derived with both reconstructions were correlated with histopathological fat content and triglyceride mass fraction using linear regression analysis. The PDFFs determined with the use of both reconstructions correlated very strongly (r = 0.91). However, small mean bias between reconstructions demonstrated divergent results (3.9%; confidence interval [CI] 2.7-5.1%). For both reconstructions, there was linear correlation with histopathology (combined fitting: r = 0.61; magnitude fitting: r = 0.64) and triglyceride content (combined fitting: r = 0.79; magnitude fitting: r = 0.70). Liver fat quantification using the PDFF derived from MRI performed at 7.1T is feasible. PDFF has strong correlations with histopathologically determined fat and with triglyceride content. However, small differences between PDFF reconstruction techniques may impair the robustness and reliability of the biomarker at 7.1T. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2016;44:1425-1431. |
