Description:
Abstract:
This chapter refers to two different methods, in terms of their operating principles. They are presented together because the present textbook focuses on the use of methods for measuring body composition, and these two methods have something in common: They are both imaging methods, specifically three-dimensional imaging of the human body. Specifically, they provide parallel two-dimensional sections of the body, which with suitable software can be used for three-dimensional visualization of individual tissues, organs, sections, or even the entire body. Following the introduction, sections 7.2 and 7.3 present the basic principles of the two methods, MRI and CT respectively, while section 7.4 elaborates on how they are applied for measuring body composition. Finally, section 7.5 discusses the reliability and validity of the two methods in terms of quantitatively measuring the various tissues of the body.
