Adipose tissue (AT) can be classified into white and brown/beige subtypes. Chemical shift encoding‐based water–fat MRI‐techniques allowing simultaneous mapping of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and T2* result in a lower PDFF and a shorter T2* in brown compared with white AT. However, AT T2* values vary widely in the literature and are primarily based on 6‐echo data. Increasing the number of echoes in a multiecho gradient‐echo acquisition is expected to increase the precision of AT T2* mapping.
