PURPOSE: Excess fat accumulation contributes significantly to metabolic dysfunction and diseases. This study aims to systematically compare the accuracy of commercially available Dixon techniques for quantification of fat fraction in liver, skeletal musculature, and vertebral bone marrow (BM) of healthy individuals, investigating biases and sex-specific influences. METHOD: 100 healthy White individuals (50 women) underwent abdominal MRI using two-point and multi-echo Dixon sequences. Fat fraction (FF), proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and T2* values were calculated for liver, paravertebral muscles (PVM) and vertebral BM (Th8-L5). Agreement and systematic deviations were assessed using linear correlation and Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS: High correlations between FF and PDFF were observed in liver (r = 0.98 for women; r = 0.96 for men), PVM (r = 0.92 for women; r = 0.93 for men) and BM (r = 0.97 for women; r = 0.95 for men). Relative deviations between FF and PDFF in liver (18.92 % for women; 13.32 % for men) and PVM (1.96 % for women; 11.62 % for men) were not significant. Relative deviations in BM were significant (38.13 % for women; 27.62 % for men). Bias correction using linear models reduced discrepancies. T2* times were significantly shorter in BM (8.72 ms for women; 7.26 ms for men) compared to PVM (13.45 ms for women; 13.62 ms for men) and liver (29.47 ms for women; 26.35 ms for men). CONCLUSION: While no significant differences were observed for liver and PVM, systematic errors in BM FF estimation using two-point Dixon imaging were observed. These discrepancies - mainly resulting from organ-specific T2* times - have to be considered when applying two-point Dixon approaches for assessment of fat content. As suitable correction tools, linear models could provide added value in large-scale epidemiological cohort studies. Sex-specific differences in T2* should be considered.
