MR fingerprinting for water T1 and fat fraction quantification in fat infiltrated skeletal muscles.

Published in: Magnetic resonance in medicine (2019)

The MRF T1-FF sequence derived T1H2O and FF values in voxels containing a mixture of water and fat protons. This method can be used to comprehend and characterize the effects of tissue water compartmentation and distribution on muscle T1 values in patients affected by chronic fat infiltration.
