This study aims to evaluate the influence of obesity on
DTI findings based on the fat fraction and eigenvalues.
A BMI of 25 kg/m2 was used to divide the subjects into
an obesity group and a normal group. 6 ROIs on femur
slices were set at the vastus lateralis, vastus
intermedius, vastus medialis, biceps femoris,
semitendinosus, and semimembraneous muscles. The fat
fraction was higher in the obesity group than in the
normal group, with significant differences for VL, BF,
and SM. The all eigenvalues were low value in the
obesity group, with a significant difference between
groups for VL.
