Improved olefinic fat suppression in skeletal muscle DTI using a magnitude‐based dixon method

To develop a method of suppressing the multi‐resonance fat signal in diffusion‐weighted imaging of skeletal muscle. This is particularly important when imaging patients with muscular dystrophies, a group of diseases which cause gradual replacement of muscle tissue by fat.
