Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We evaluate dual-echo Dixon (in-phase and out-of-phase, IP-OP), chemical shift imaging (CSI), and 1H MRS in estimating fat content (FC) in phantoms and livers of mice. Phantoms were made according to the volume percentage of fat ranging from 0% to 100%. Three MR methods were performed to measure FCs in phantoms, livers of ob/ob, human BSCL2/seipin gene knock-out (SKO) and wild type (WT) mice. The results were compared to known FCs in phantoms and to reference standard from mice by histological semi-automatic vacuole segmentation procedure (HIS-S) and liver lipid (LL) chemical analysis. In phantoms, CSI underestimated FC in range of 50-100%, to a smaller extent than IP-OP. In vivo, liver FCs in ob/ob and SKO mice measured by three MR methods were all significantly higher than that of WT mice. Liver FC measured by IP-OP are significantly lower than that measured by CSI and MRS with no significant difference between CSI and MRS. CSI and MRS showed a linear correlation with LL analysis and with each other. IP-OP underestimated FC, while CSI and MRS are more accurate for quantifying fat in both phantoms and liver. CSI and MRS have the potential to replace HIS-S and LL analysis in longitudinal studies.
