A reconstructed separate fat image was used for studying the fat content of the liver of 12 dead and six living fasting burbots (Lota lota) in a 0.04 T magnetic field with olive oil as a reference. The correlation between the MR intensities and the results of the cytological, histological and chemical fat measurements, as well as chemically measured water, collagen and total protein contents were examined. The MR signal intensity in reconstructed fat images correlated well with the changes in fat content of the liver in living fish (r = 0.69, P = 0.0014). Also the contents of water (r = -0.66, P = 0.003) and total protein (r = -0.91, P = 0.013) correlated significantly with the MR signal intensity. The reconstructed fat image is thus a reliable method for following the changes in tissue fat content. The living burbot is an applicable test animal for studying the hepatic fat content with MR.
