We examined the temperature dependence of relaxation times in proton components of fatty acids in various samples in vitro at 11 tesla as a standard calibration data for quantitative temperature imaging of fat. The spin-lattice relaxation time, T(1), of both the methylene (CH(2)) chain and terminal methyl (CH(3)) was linearly related to temperature (r>0.98, P<0.
