MR Imaging Examination Acquisition Parameters

Note.—FGRE = fast gradient-recalled echo, 2D = two dimensional, 3D = three-dimensional, ARC = autocalibrating reconstruction for cartesian imaging, IDEAL-IQ = iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation, NA = not applicable, STEAM = stimulated-echo acquisition mode

*For each acquisition, the two echoes were nominally out of phase and in phase.

^†The exact repetition times and the exact echo times depend on the field of view, and hence, were not constant among all participants.

^‡This range of echo times permitted reliable T2 estimation while minimizing confounding effects of fat-peak J coupling.

^§To minimize both J coupling and T1 weighting.

^||Adjusted to habitus and subject breath-hold capability.

^#Selected in right lobe of liver, away from vessels, bile ducts, liver edges, and any artifact.

**To balance T1 saturation on subsequent excitations.
