PurposeThe diagnostic gold standard for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is an invasive biopsy. Noninvasive Cartesian MRI fat quantification remains limited to a breath-hold (BH). In this work, a novel free-breathing 3D stack-of-radial (FB radial) liver fat quantification technique is developed and evaluated in a preliminary study.MethodsPhantoms and healthy subjects (n=11) were imaged at 3 Tesla. The proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) determined using FB radial (with and without scan acceleration) was compared to BH single-voxel MR spectroscopy (SVS) and BH 3D Cartesian MRI using linear regression (correlation coefficient and concordance coefficient (c)) and Bland-Altman analysis.ResultsIn phantoms, PDFF showed significant correlation (>0.998, (c)>0.995) and absolute mean differences0.999, (c)>0.998) and absolute mean differences 0.986, (c)>0.985) and absolute mean differences0.996, (c)>0.995) and absolute mean differences
