Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will assess the inter-center reproducibility and accuracy of hepatic fat fraction measurements using up to two MRI-based methods. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for the repeated measurements is expected to be greater than 0.6.
