Key result
Quantitative fat-water MRI-derived fat signal fraction correlates with CT Hounsfield units in subcutaneous white adipose tissue, with a 1 HU decrease equaling a mean increase of 0.38% FSF.

Does quantitative fat-water MRI correlate with CT Hounsfield units for assessing subcutaneous white adipose tissue in healthy adults?
MRI-based fat signal fraction correlates with CT Hounsfield units in subcutaneous white adipose tissue, suggesting it could serve as a radiation-free alternative for assessing metabolic risk factors.
Gifford et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=21). Quantitative fat-water magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs. Computed tomography (CT) was evaluated on Correlation between MRI-derived fat signal fraction (FSF) and CT Hounsfield units (HU). Quantitative fat-water MRI-derived fat signal fraction correlates with CT Hounsfield units in subcutaneous white adipose tissue, with a 1 HU decrease equaling a mean increase of 0.38% FSF.
