The increased obesity leads to ectopic fat deposits in liver and pancreas. Ectopic fat deposits affect insulin resistance and blood sugar content with Type 2 Diabetes. In order to assess the relationship between obesity and ectopic fat deposits and diabetes, this study used MR Dixon technique for the quantification of liver and pancreas fat fraction (FF) in T2DM patients and healthy controls.
