Fat quantification using MR PRESS data

PRESS based fat quantification

Fat quantification of 5 liver lobes (RML, LML, LLL, RL, CL) During the MRI sesssion at least one PRESS voxel was placed in each of those liver lobes to acquire PRESS data for later fat analysis. Acquisitions were without water suppression, so the fat peaks are relatively small.

The quantification was performed using lcmodel. The original MRI data are part of the MRI session assays (data files uploaded). Here you can find the additional analysis and the output of lcmodel: The "ps" in each exam folder are postscript files with the grafical display of the lcmodel spectra fit and the "table" files are numeric outputs of the lcmodel with all the peak areas.

Additionally a perl script (ExtractLCMOutput.pl_NoPasswords) was used to collect all that lcmodel output (table) and sort them into a large *.csv file. The perl script accessed additional databases from the animal experiment documentation software to add information like the body weight at the day of the MRI. Also the exact time stamps when the surgery was done and the MRI are added, so it is possible to calculate the actual time in between more accurately than the POD1-5.
