Popis:	In recent years еpicardial adipose tissue has been reported to be an independent predictor of coronary risk, along with the already well established coronary calcium score. In our study we look for a corellation between these two markers in patients with long-term diabetes mellitus type 1 and healthy controls. Epicardial fat volume is quantified by semiautomatically and manually segmenting images acquired with computed tomography and magnetic resonance tomography. The two types of images demonstrate excellent correlation between them. A mild to moderate correlation between epicardial fat volume and coronary calcium score is found, regardless of which type of image the fat is calculated from.
