Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) fat image by Fat-Water DB IR GRE sequence. Representative example of fat infiltration in the inter-atrial septum using a dedicated CMR sequence that allows fat and water imaging in separate. (A) Regular functional steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence; (B) “Water phase” – fat signal is suppressed; (C) “Fat phase” – water signal is suppressed. A fat deposit can be observed in the inter-atrial septum (arrows), with an increased signal in the “fat phase” and decreased in the “water phase”. The robust fat-water separation obtained with this sequence can be observed in the pericardial fat (arrow heads) imaging.
