Table IV.

The 95% confidence interval (CI) for an individual subject’s estimated tissue volume resulting from different between-slice intervals.

	2 cm interval		3 cm interval		4 cm interval		5 cm interval
	95% CI (L)	R²	95% CI (L)	R²	95% CI (L)	R²	95% CI (L)	R²
Skeletal muscle	± 0.124	0.99993	± 0.151	0.99989	± 0.229	0.99976	± 0.321	0.99952
Subcutaneous adipose tissue	± 0.0725	0.99998	± 0.130	0.99995	± 0.172	0.99990	± 0.214	0.99985
Visceral adipose tissue	± 0.0314	0.99868	± 0.0609	0.99502	± 0.0892	0.98933	± 0.105	0.98516
Intermuscular adipose tissue	± 0.0317	0.99880	± 0.0517	0.99668	± 0.0696	0.99399	± 0.0850	0.99101
Residual	± 0.127	0.99969	± 0.199	0.99920	± 0.257	0.99874	± 0.455	0.99608

R² is derived from the regression model with V_true as dependent variable and V_interval as independent variable for each tissue component at each between-slice interval.
