Background: A dual-function phantom designed to quantify the apparent diffusion coefficient (AdC) in different fat contents (FCs) and glass beaddensities (GBds) to simulate the human tissues has not been documented yet. We propose a dual-function phantom to quantify the FC and to measure the AdC at different FCs anddifferent GBds. Methods: A fat-containing diffusion phantom comprised by 30 glass-bead-containing fat-water emulsions consisting of six different FCs (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) multiplied by five different GBds (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 g/50 mL). The FC and AdC were measured by the “iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least squares estimation-IQ,” IdEAL-IQ, and single-shot echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging, SS-EP-dWI, sequences, respectively. Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship among the fat fraction (FF) measured by IdEAL-IQ, GBd, and AdC. Results: The AdC was significantly, negatively, and linearly associated with the FF (the linear slope ranged from -0.005 to -0.017, R2 = 0.925 to 0.986, all p < 0.001). The slope of the linear relationship between the AdC and the FF, however, varied among different GBds (the higher the GBd, the lower the slope). AdCs among emulsions across different GBds and FFs were overlapped. Emulsions with low GBds plus high FFs shared a same lower AdC range with those with median or high GBds plus median or lower FFs. Conclusions: A novel dual-function phantom simulating the human tissues allowed to quantify the influence of FC and GBd on AdC. Relevance statement: The study developed an innovative dual-function MRI phantom to explore the impact of FC on AdC variation that can affect clinical results. The results revealed the superimposed effect on FF and GBddensity on AdC measurements. Key points: • A dual-function phantom made of glass beaddensity (GBd) and fat fraction (FF) emulsion has been developed. • Apparent diffusion coefficient (AdC) values
