<h4>Purpose</h4>The 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.<h4>Methods</h4>Phantoms and healthy subjects (n = 11) were imaged at 3 Tesla. The proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) determined using FB radial (with and wit ...[more]
