(a) Axial image of the liver and the voxel where spectroscopic measurements were obtained. (b) 1H-magnetic resonance (MR) spectrum from the liver clearly shows the methylene peak of triglycerides. (c) Sagittal image of an abdomen; the lumbar spine was set as a landmark to select the ___location for subcutaneous and visceral fat analysis in transverse images. Lumbar spine L3 and L4 are denoted. (d) Transverse image of an abdomen for fat analysis. Subcutaneous and visceral fat were separated (bottom) and the fat content was quantified after converting those images to black-and-white binary images.1
