From: Half-body MRI volumetry of abdominal adipose tissue in patients with obesity
Suggested workaround for adipose tissue quantification in patients with higher degrees of obesity. Sample transverse MR image after patient has been positioned non-centrally (laterally) on the MR table. Full-body fat amounts can be estimated from half-body measures (here: right) using reference/ conversion parameters derived here. MRI acquisition with (obese) patient in central (normal) position is prone to image artifacts or (anatomical) cutoffs on both sides which would prevent proper prediction
