Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Correlation and Agreement for Foot Muscle and Adipose Tissue Measurements

This study determined the correlation and level of agreement between CT and MR measurements of foot muscle and IMAT from 32 subjects with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. Volumetric CT and DIXON 3T MR scans were obtained. Intermuscular adipose tissue and muscle volumes used to create the IMAT to muscle ratio were obtained by segmenting the forefoot muscle compartment from each modality. Results Computed tomography IMAT ratios were significantly correlated (r = 0.85, P
