Key result
A single-slice computed tomography measurement of renal sinus fat was highly correlated with volumetric measurement (r = 0.85) and demonstrated high intra- and inter-reader reproducibility.

A single-slice MDCT measurement of renal sinus fat is highly reproducible and correlates well with volumetric measurements and systemic adiposity, providing a feasible imaging biomarker for community-based studies.
Foster et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (Community-based sample) (n=92). Single-slice MDCT measurement of renal sinus fat vs. Volumetric MDCT measurement was evaluated on Correlation between single-slice and volumetric renal sinus fat in the right kidney (r = 0.85, p=<0.0001). A single-slice computed tomography measurement of renal sinus fat was highly correlated with volumetric measurement (r = 0.85) and demonstrated high intra- and inter-reader reproducibility.
