The current Dixon-type sequences produce four sets of images, water only, fat only, in-phase, and out-of-phase, due to acquiring echos with different TRs and the same TEs.

To saturate fat, water or silicone signal, a 90° pre-saturation RF pulse is applied at the precessional frequency of the nuclei to the whole FOV.
