Synopsis

Risk stratification strategies in patients with metabolic diseases are urgently needed for the selection of appropriate lifestyle interventions. Pancreatic fat content has been shown to be associated with the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. MRI-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF) mapping based on a multi-echo gradient echo acquisition is the method of choice for non-invasive pancreatic fat quantification. This study evaluates how the PDFF of the pancreas correlates to adipose tissue PDFF and evolves after an 8-week weight loss intervention.
