MRI Scan - Body Composition
Go beyond body weight and BMI with a detailed MRI-based assessment of your muscle and body-fat distribution. Depending on the imaging protocol, MRI can quantify key body-composition compartments such as visceral fat, subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle without ionising radiation.

Advanced Body Composition Measurements
MRI Body Composition provides quantitative imaging of different tissue compartments, offering a more detailed view of body composition than body weight or BMI alone. Depending on the imaging and analysis protocol used by the provider, measurements may include visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, skeletal muscle volume and regional body-fat distribution. Some advanced MRI protocols can also assess muscle fat infiltration or ectopic fat, but these should only be listed if they are included in the partner's approved report.
Who May Benefit From a Body Composition Assessment?
MRI Body Composition may be considered when a more detailed understanding of muscle mass, body-fat distribution or metabolic-health related body composition is needed.
- Concern about abdominal or visceral fat
- Body weight not reflecting visible changes
- Monitoring muscle mass and distribution
- Tracking body composition over time
- Metabolic-health focused assessment
- Doctor-recommended advanced body composition testing
