Chemical shift imaging is a relatively fast MR sequence, which is valuable in characterizing pathologies in multiple organ systems to help narrow the differential diagnosis or make a definitive diagnosis. Characterization by chemical shift imaging is based on three principles: detection of intracytoplasmic lipid, India-ink artifact, and susceptibility artifact.
