Dynamic T2*-MRI may support radiation-free BAT imaging; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Can dynamic T2*-weighted MRI identify and quantify cold-activated brown adipose tissue compared to FDG-PET in healthy adults?
Dynamic T2*-weighted MRI is a promising, radiation-free alternative to FDG-PET for identifying and quantifying active brown adipose tissue.
