Accuracy of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for assessing longitudinal change in visceral adipose tissue in patients with coronary artery disease.

Compared with MRI, DXA substantially underestimated longitudinal changes in VAT. Therefore, DXA is not currently a valid alternative to MRI for quantifying VAT changes and may under-represent the effectiveness of interventions for obesity management.
