Background:

Lipid signal removal is crucial for accurate MRI analysis.
Conventional chemical saturation techniques can be unreliable for fat suppression.
Advanced fat separation methods are needed for multi-mouse MRI studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the efficacy of Dixon-based fat separation with chemical saturation for lipid signal removal.
To evaluate fat suppression robustness in multi-mouse MRI acquisitions.

Main Methods:

A two-point Dixon technique was implemented with a RARE pulse sequence.
Multivolume fat suppression was assessed using a 4-element array at 4.7 T.
Studies were conducted on phantoms and in vivo mouse models.

Main Results:

Dixon technique successfully achieved fat saturation across all channels in multi-mouse acquisitions.
Chemical saturation techniques exhibited failures in fat saturation.
Dixon technique demonstrated more reliable and homogenous fat suppression.

Conclusions:

Dixon fat separation is a more robust method for lipid signal removal than chemical saturation.
This technique offers improved fat suppression for both phantom and in vivo MRI.
The findings support Dixon-based methods as a proof of concept for enhanced MRI fat suppression.
