Body composition reference:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e In body composition research, DXA is widely used as the reference comparator against which Inbody, BIA, skinfolds, BodPod, and consumer devices are validated; many validation studies show BIA and other methods have wider limits of agreement vs DXA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4. Comparisons to CT\/MRI for fat distribution:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e CT\/MRI remain true anatomic reference standards for visceral adipose quantification. DXA provides good whole-body FM and regional measures but systematic reviews highlight limitations when quantifying intra-abdominal adipose tissue (IAAT) vs CT\/MRI.
