Due to the nonuniform differences in relation to the values of True PDFF, in order to obtain the estimated error value at a given fat fraction PDFF one must calculate intercept + slopePDFF. For 95% limits of agreement, the calculation is the same with lower or upper limits replacing intercept. No outliers had to be removed for these calculations. is best when close to 1 and AOC when close to 0.
