Fat quantification in skeletal muscle using multigradient-echo imaging : Comparison of fat and water

To investigate the precision, accuracy, and repeatability of water/fat imaging‐based fat quantification in muscle tissue using a large flip angle (FA) and a fat reference for the calculation of the proton density fat fraction (FF). Comparison is made to a small FA water reference approach.
