  1. Data on cervical-supraclavicular adipose tissue (considered as suspected brown adipose tissue, denoted sBAT). Measurements of mean fat fraction \((\overline{{\rm{FF}}})\), mean R2 * \((\overline{{{\rm{R}}}_{2}^{\ast }})\) and volume (V) of segmented sBAT, obtained by the multi-atlas segmentation (MAS) method and the semi-automated reference segmentation (REF) method. Segmentation overlap was estimated by the dice similarity coefficient (Dice). Measurements reported as group means ± standard deviations (ranges) of individual means.
