Abstract：Abnormal fat metabolism plays an important role in the initiation and development of systemic metabolic diseases and inflammation response, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunction. Traditional methods for analyzing adi-pose tissue (AT) are all invasive approaches. Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide a comprehensive assessment of the function of AT, ectopic fat deposition, and can provide abundant information for diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and evaluation of therapeutic efficacy of metabolic diseases. This article aimed to review technological advances and research application of multimodal MRI in quantitative evaluation of fat tissue and fatty liver.
