Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the volume and function of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) in vivo using MR imaging. Methods: BAT volumes under thermoneutral conditions in the cervical areas were assessed via water-fat contrast using the Dixon method and via water-saturation efficiency using fast spin-echo and T2-weighted images. The existence of cervical BAT was also assessed by 18F-FDG PET/CT scans in the same subjects. BAT functionality...
