Description/
Intervention:		The goal of this clinical research study is to compare two different types of
imaging techniques used on the body. Fat suppression is often desired in MRI
for better image contrast but results are often less than perfect using the
standard techniques.
.
Study Objectives / Outcomes
The specific aim of the study is to develop and evaluate Dixon imaging technique for improved fat suppression in the body.
