Measurements based on the single umbilical slices from subjects (n=85).

Measurements based on the MRI sequences (20 slices/sequence) from randomly selected subjects (n=20).

Accuracy data are given as mean ± standard deviation in cm³ and percentage (%).

VAT: visceral adipose tissue; SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue; TAT: total abdominal adipose tissue; Auto: the automatic method; Ref: the reference method; ICC: intra-class correlation;
