Quantitatively, it can be observed that a reduced number of echoes in the unconstrained fitting has an effect on wT2 fitting when fat infiltration is present, resulting in a highly significant positive correlation ( p < 0.001) for EPG fitting with 5 and 8 echoes (correlation coefficient r = 0.73 and 0.61, respectively, Figure 3 ).
