Summary

The primary goal of this study is to assess the accuracy of conventional fat fraction proton MRI for the detection of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) in healthy subjects using \[18F\]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (fluorodeoxyglucose) -PET as gold standard.

In this pilot study, MRI and PET imaging of BAT of healthy adult volunteers will be performed on a combined PET/MRI scanner under mild cold condition.
