Data are mean ± standard deviation in dm2 or median in% and (interquartile range in percentage points). ART, arterial scan; CES, contrast-enhanced scan; CI, confidence interval; NES, non-enhanced scan; PVN, portal-venous scan; R2, coefficient of determination; RMSE, root-mean-square error; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; TAT, total adipose tissue; test, test data; train, training data; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; VEN, venous scan. The first P value column (and 95% CI) corresponds to the relative change between CES and NES while the second P value column corresponds to the difference of the correlation coefficient R from zero. All conversion formulae calculate NES area in dm2.
