Fig 1.
Assessment of pancreatic fat content in subjects with lower and higher pancreatic fat content undergoing 3T magnetic resonance imaging (multi-echo GRE Dixon sequence) from the general population.
Pancreatic fat content was measured as proton-density fat fraction (PDFFpanc) in a region of interest (red circle). L = liver; S = spleen.

Data are given as number (percentage) or median (25th and 75th percentile).
