Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for determine the fat composition in an organ of interest using a non-invasive health measurement system. The non-invasive health measurement system may include an open magnet NMR apparatus. The NMR apparatus may measure NMR signals in a sensitive volume of a patient. The sensitive volume may coincide with an organ of interest, such as a liver. Systems and methods disclosed herein may provide for separation of the water contribution and the fat contribution to the measured NMR signal. Diffusion based separation, T2 based separation, and T1 based separation may each serve as different methods for separating the water and fat contributions to the signal. Separating the water and fat contributions to the single may allow for computation of a proton density fat fraction which may reflect the fat composition of the organ of interest.
