Fat deposition decreases diffusion parameters at MRI: a study in phantoms and patients with liver steatosis.

Purpose: Assess the effect of fat deposition on the MRI diffusion coefficients in lipid emulsion-based phantoms and patients with proven isolated liver steatosis.Materials and Methods: Diffusion-weighted MRI with 11 b values from 0-500 s/mm(2) was performed in phantoms (fat fractions 0-18 %) with an...
