1H MR spectroscopy is a suitable method of fat evaluation in human body. It is possible to determine the level of liver steatosis using the measurement of water and fatty acids signal intensities. The results from spectroscopy correlate well with the results of histology. The method is useful for long-term studies due to its non-invasive character. A similar examination procedure can be used for fat measurement in myocardium. Editing 1H MRS techniques with different echo times are used to measure intra- and extracellular fat in muscles. Advanced editing techniques such as oMEGA PRESS enable measuring the content of omega fatty acids. Editing techniques are also applied for the measurement of metabolite concentrations in prostate. The concentration of citrate significantly increases with the age of healthy males. The age dependency of metabolite concentrations has to be considered in long-term studies as well as in the case of patients' examinations.
