Structured PICO
Does a whole-body T1-mapping acquisition method improve automated adipose tissue segmentation compared to an image-based method?
P
Population
10 subjects
I
Intervention
Whole-body T1-mapping acquisition method (two whole-body volumes acquired using two different flip angles)
C
Comparator
Image-based method (original image slices)
O
Outcome
Accuracy of automated adipose tissue (AT) segmentation compared to manually segmented slices as referencesurrogate
Whole-body T1-mapping improves the definition of adipose tissue and allows for more accurate fully automated segmentation compared to standard image-based methods.
