Images labeled as water may include signal from fatty tissue, and images labeled as fat may include signal from water. This error may occur in regions of high magnetic field variation, in spatially isolated tissue, due to patient or tissue motion, due to phase wrap artifacts, and/or in images with low signal-to-noise ratios. The presence of fat tissue in images labeled as water, or vice versa, may occur within single images or throughout an in entire stack of slices. By default, both sets of images (labeled fat and labeled water) will be reconstructed and inserted into the database for review. Proper calibration and center frequency selection will reduce the occurrence of this error. Complete elimination of this error may not be possible and thus interpretation of MR images must be completed by trained personnel.
