Abstract:

Obesity has become a serious threat to human health. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provide powerful tools for evaluating the distribution and accumulation of adipose tissues in the body. Here, we reviewed the recent progresses in the applications of MRI and MRS technologies in basic and clinical researches on obesity.

Key words: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), obesity, mouse model
