From: Measuring body composition in overweight individuals by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry
Total body scan, with bones only (left) and with soft tissue (right), of a 104 kg woman (BMI = 34.1 kg/m2). Portions of the arms fell out of the scan area and there is overlapping tissue in the chest, arm, and hip regions. The abdominal and thigh regions of interest can be defined manually, while others are determined by computer software, although they can be manually changed as well.
