Why the study?
Tomographic imaging of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese subjects is commonly limited by a technically restricted field of view.
Can abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue volume be accurately estimated from limited field-of-view MRI data using surrogate measures in obese patients?
Can abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue volume be accurately estimated from limited field-of-view MRI data using surrogate measures in obese patients?
Partial volume limited by the femoral heads provides the best surrogate estimate for fully segmented abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue volume in obese patients with restricted MRI field of view.

May facilitate ASAT estimation in obese patients with limited MRI; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
