- MRI is a criterion method for assessing intra-abdominal fat.
- MRI can be used to measure ectopic fat deposition in the liver and skeletal muscle.
- High cost and limited availability currently hinder the routine use of this tool for assessing body composition and related health risk in clinical practice.
