Twelve healthy subjects underwent hydrogen-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy () acquisition (), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) with a-value of, and fat-water magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the Dixon method. Subject-specific muscle fiber orientation, derived from DTI, was used to estimate the lipid proton spectral chemical shift. Pennation angles were measured as 23.78 deg in vastus lateralis (VL), 17.06 deg in soleus (SO), and 8.49 deg in tibialis anterior (TA) resulting in a chemical shift between extramyocellular lipids (EMCL) and intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) of 0.15, 0.17, and 0.19 ppm, respectively. IMCL concentrations were,, andin SO, VL, and TA, respectively. Significant differences were observed in IMCL and EMCL pairwise comparisons in SO, VL, and TA (). Strong correlations were observed between total fat fractions fromand Dixon MRI for VL (), SO (), and TA (). Bland-Altman analysis between fat fractions (FFMRSand FFMRI) showed good agreement with small limits of agreement (LoA):(LoA:to 0.69%) in VL,(LoA:to 1.33%) in SO, and(LoA:to 0.47%) in TA. The results of this study demonstrate the variation in muscle fiber orientation and lipid concentrations in these three skeletal muscle types.
