Robert Steiner Magnetic Resonance Imaging Unit, Imperial College School of Medicine, Hammersmith Hospital, London W12 0HS, United Kingdom. ethomas@rpms.ac.ukIn this study we assessed different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diabetes scanning regimes and examined some of the assumptions commonly made for measuring diabetes body fat content by MRI. Whole body MRI was used to quantify and study different body fat depots in 67 women. The whole body diabetes MRI results showed that there was a significant variation in the percentage of total internal, as well as visceral, adipose tissue across a range of adiposity, which could not be predicted from total body fat and/or subcutaneous fat. Furthermore, variation in the amount of total, subcutaneous, and visceral adipose tissue was not related to standard anthropometric measurements such as skinfold measurements, body mass index, and waist-to-hip ratio.
