Objective This study aimed to compare a state‐of‐the‐art bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device with two‐point Dixon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the quantification of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) as a health‐related risk factor. Methods A total of 63 male participants were measured using a 3‐T MRI scanner and a segmental, multifrequency BIA device. MRI generated fat fraction (FF) maps, in which VAT volume, total abdominal adipose tissue volume, and FF of visceral and total abdominal compartments were quantified. BIA …
