FIGURE 7.

Influence of appropriate voxel position on spectral appearance in the lipid region. Careful placement of the voxel in muscle excluding of fascia results in spectra with a slight EMCL contamination (right). If such a fasciae, which may be hardly visible in a common MR image, is included in the voxel, the IMCL signal may become dominated by a large contamination from EMCL (middle). As soon as adipose tissue is included, eg, subcutaneous fat at the border of a voxel, the IMCL signals are no longer visible (left). Adapted with permission from Boesch et al²
