Zusammenfassung:[...]MRI offers excellent spatial resolution; it is now recognized to be the gold standard for adipose tissue imaging and superior to computed tomography in separating epicardial from pericardial fat, the latter of which has different vascularization and developmental origin from EAT. [...]it is also the only imaging modality in which volumetric quantification of EAT has been validated ex vivo (2).
