Sponsor's own description

Obesity and its related conditions account for up to 5%of all health care spending in the UK and this is expected to double by 2030. Following weight loss, significant improvement in these obesity-related illnesses has been reported. However, there is limited understanding of how these improvements happen and in particular, little dedicated work has been done using imaging in the obese population to look at the effects of treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that allows assessment of fat concentration and volume without the use of ionising radiation. It is safe, non-invasive and well-tolerated by most patients. There are several MRI imaging techniques that be can used for fat quantification. These include MR spectroscopy and Dixon methods with measurement of fat fraction. These techniques measure the fat in the body organs and also the fat in the abdomen and skin. Recent technical developments mean that the whole body can be scanned relatively quickly (typically 30-40 minutes).
