摘要:
A method for determining an estimate of fat within a volume of a subject comprising the steps of: a) determining a parameter α from the signal intensities of at least three echo signals emitted from a region of the volume of a subject imaged by a magnetic resonance image scanner in response to an applied RF pulse, wherein the three echo signals are taken at a first opposing-phase echo time, a second opposing-phase echo time and an in-phase echo time; and b) determining a fat volume fraction, f, from the parameter α.
