Abstract
Single-slice abdominal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed to
measure visceral adipose tissue in individuals with obesity and diabetes mellitus can also image skeletal muscle. The aim of
this study was to validate a method developed in cancer patients using a single abdominal cross-sectional image to estimate
fat-free mass (FFM) and appendicular lean tissue mass index (LTMI), a total body skeletal muscle mass surrogate, in an obese
cohort of subjects with and without type 2 diabetes.
