Receiver operating curves (ROC) of the different fat depots (CATi, VATi and SATi) for the prediction of ICU or Death in T2D and control patients. For T2D patients, diagnostic performance of CATi (AUC = 0.67, p = 0.0011) and VATi (AUC = 0.62, p = 0.051) was higher compared to SATi (AUC = 0.54, p = 0.57). Adipose tissue imaging biomarkers were not statistically significant for the prediction of ICU or death in non-diabetic patients. AUC area under the curve CATi cardiac adipose tissue index. VATi visceral adipose tissue index. SATi subcutaneous adipose tissue index
