Influence of technical parameters on epicardial fat volume quantification at cardiac CT

Highlights • Upper threshold levels and contrast enhancement influence epicardial fat volumetry. • Cardiac cycle does not significantly influence epicardial fat volumetry. • Adjustments of upper threshold can lead to comparable volumetry results.
