Comparison of Abdominal Visceral Adipose Tissue Measurements in Adolescents between Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry

Excess abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents. VAT is mainly measured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), yet dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is more affordable and available. The purpose was to compare adolescent VAT values...
