A fast chemical‐shift imaging using the gradient‐echo technique is proposed for the separation of the water and fat in human in vivo imaging. This technique also incorporates magnetic field inhomogeneity correction in the fast chemical‐shift imaging. Experimental results of the proposed imaging technique demonstrate that the method would be useful for quick in vivo water‐fat separation imaging with a substantially shorter time than the conventional spin‐echo imaging sequence. © 1988 Academic Press, Inc.
