'Fat scan' shows up health risk

BBC NEWS Health 'Fat scan' shows up health risk: "Hammersmith Hospital, in west London, is currently the only hospital in Europe using the MRI scan.
Its scientists say 40% of the population have 'bad' fat around the heart, liver or pancreas, even though many appear thin.
They warn it is possible to be slim and yet still be at risk of conditions like diabetes because of 'hidden' fat.
Evidence suggests the precise location of fat has more of a bearing on health than simply being overweight. "
