Claim 7:
8. A method according to claim 1, wherein after an acquisition step of a first MRI image along a predetermined slice, and before the separation step, are provided further steps of:
acquiring for at least said slice or for at least part or all said slices, when these are more than one, an image called water-only that is generated on the basis of MRI signals resulting from water-only;
acquiring for at least said slice or for at least part or all said slices, when these are more than one, an image called fat-only that is generated on the basis of MRI signals resulting from fat-only;
while a validation step is provided in which the machine learning algorithm is configured and used for the validation classification of the images acquired as related to the only signal component resulting from water or related to the only signal component resulting from the fat tissues existing in the body under examination.
