Body mass index and its effects on liver fat content in overweight and obese young adults by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique

Figure 1 Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique was used for liver fat assessment. Water peak was shown occurring at 4.72 ppm, peaks in fat for CH₃ occurred at 0.9 ppm, and CH₂ peaked at 1.3 ppm and 2.1 ppm.
