Decline in BMI and fat mass (FM) with six treatments. (a) The box-and-whisker plot (median, quartiles, range) of BMI and computer-generated FM% values by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning in group 2 before (baseline) and after six rounds of the tissue cooling procedure. (b) A representative example of the output of the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body scanner in one subject before the procedure (1), after three procedures (2), and after six procedures (3).
