Chemical shift imaging imaging is used for the detection of microscopic fat, whereas fat suppression techniques affect macroscopic fat.

Lesions with microscopic fat include:
  • Focal or diffuse hepatic steatosis
  • Hepatic adenoma
  • Hepatic lipoma
  • Well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Hepatic angiomyolipoma
  • Metastatic germ cell tumor
  • Adrenal adenoma
