How Analyze was Used
“Magnetic resonance measures of IHL [Intrahepatic Lipid], IMCL [Intramyocellular Lipid], visceral- and subcutaneous- adipose tissue (VAT, SCAT) are conducted on a whole body Siemens 3T Tim® Trio scanner at the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre on the Addenbrooke’s campus….Cross-sectional volumes of VAT and SCAT are calculated using a semi-automated method, incorporating a software-generated threshold map (Analyze 7.0 …) which is used in combination with manual input to distinguish the two fat compartments.”
