Abstract
In a method for the high-precision determination of the body fat content, whereby the test subject is measured with an MR scanner tuned to the fat resonant frequency and the resulting MR images are analyzed as to the areas therein representing fat.
Claims6
A method for high-precision determination of the total body fat content of a subject, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining magnetic resonance data from a subject with a magnetic resonance scanner tuned to the resonant frequency of fat;
- and
- electronically analyzing said magnetic resonance data to determine the total fat content of said subject therefrom.
