How Analyze was Used
“The cross-sectional areas of total adipose tissue (TAT) and VAT were quantified on each slice using software-derived algorithms (Analyze, version 6.0 …). SAT was calculated from each slice as TAT–VAT. From the combined measurements of the eight slices, total abdominal TAT, VAT, and SAT masses were calculated according to previously published methods [Smith et al. 2001].”
