Graphical user interface of stand-alone tool (segfatMR) for multi-slice segmentation of SAT and VAT amounts. After automatic segmentation, the user has the opportunity to review and graphically adjust the boundaries after selecting them by key press (1–3 for outer SAT, inner SAT and VAT, respectively). Unlike the SAT boundary, the VAT boundary is a crude one and fat quantification uses a histogram-based threshold (green dashed vertical line) to separate signal intensities from fat or lean tissues (resulting VAT areas overlaid in green). The interactive table summarizes all results and allows the user to link slices to positions of vertebral bodies (column VB) or landmarks (LM), such as pelvic floor (PF) or femoral heads (FH).
