The study aim was to simultaneously assess the composition of fatty acids from the extramyocellular lipids, bone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue in the calf at 7T and analyze their saturation profiles. Right calf of four volunteers was scanned using a 2D-CSI sequence with FID and long echo-time acquisition. Ratios of unsaturated fatty-acids (UFA) to CH3 group, polyunsaturated fatty-acids (PUFA) to CH3 group, and PUFA to UFA+PUFA were calculated in: subcutaneous fat, bone marrow and calf muscles. The new 2D-CSI sequence was found suitable for detecting lipids in various tissues for their composition analysis with no extra time needed.
