To assess accuracy of magnitude-based magnetic resonance imaging (M-MRI) in children to estimate hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) using two to six echoes, with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-measured PDFF as a reference standard. This was an IRB-approved, HIPAA-compliant, single-center, cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively between 2008 and 2013 in children with known or suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Two hundred and eighty-six children (8 – 20 [mean 14.2 ± 2.5] yrs; 182 boys) underwent same-day MRS and M-MRI. Unenhanced two-dimensional axial spoiled gradient-recalled-echo images at six echo times were obtained at 3T after a single low-flip-angle (10°) excitation with ≥ 120-ms recovery time. Hepatic PDFF was estimated using the first two, three, four, five, and all six echoes. For each number of echoes, accuracy of M-MRI to estimate PDFF was assessed by linear regression with MRS-PDFF as reference standard. Accuracy metrics were regression intercept, slope, average bias, and R2. MRS-PDFF ranged from 0.2 – 40.4% (mean 13.1 ± 9.8%). Using three to six echoes, regression intercept, slope, and average bias were 0.46 – 0.96%, 0.99 – 1.01, and 0.57 – 0.89%, respectively. Using two echoes, these values were 2.98%, 0.97, and 2.72%, respectively. R2 ranged 0.98 – 0.99 for all methods. Using three to six echoes, M-MRI has high accuracy for hepatic PDFF estimation in children.
