The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of brown and white adipose tissue, as well as fat content in liver and pancreas, in patients with morbid obesity before and after bariatric surgery. mDixon sequence and proton MRS were used to measure fat content. Results indicated that weight, BMI, waist circumference, pancreatic fat, liver fat, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues were significantly reduced 6 – 12 months after surgery. The present study suggested that bariatric surgery effectively reduced the weight in patients with morbid obesity.
