The present invention relates to systems and methods for generating high
resolution MR images of the fractional amount or percentage of fat
content in an imaged object. In particular, the present invention relates
to systems and methods for obtaining high resolution MR images of fat
content with reduced NMR relaxation effects. Moreover, the present
invention relates to systems and methods for obtaining high resolution MR
images of fat content with reduced fat-percentage ambiguity. Furthermore,
the present invention relates to systems and methods for diagnostic, and
prognostic imaging where knowledge of fat content within tissues, organs,
and lesions is beneficial to improve diagnostic accuracy, aid in risk
assessment of future disease, and aid in assessment of therapeutic
intervention.
