The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed the world's first reference material to improve the accuracy of body fat measurements conducted through MRI and CT scans.
National Research Council Of Science & Technology Jul 1 2024 The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed the world's first reference material to improve the accuracy of body fat measurements conducted through MRI and CT scans.
The issue has been the variability in fat measurement values from medical imaging systems, differing by hospital, manufacturer, and model. Since there are no calibration standards, diagnosis relies on the experience and intuition of physicians, posing challenges for multi-center clinical trials and big data research that require consistent measurements from various imaging systems.
The newly developed reference material and phantom are expected to be distributed to medical institutions, improving the validity of medical imaging system measurements and the reliability of diagnostic results. In addition, they can serve as reference points for multi-center and multi-device data in clinical trials for new drug development, including obesity treatments.
