PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to compare a single 2D image processing system (IMAGE) to underwater weighing (UWW) for measuring body volume (BV) and subsequently estimating body fat percentage (%Fat), fat mass (FM), and fat-free mass (FFM) via a 3-compartment (3C) model. METHODS A sample of participants aged 18-39 years was recruited for this study (n=67, 47.8% female). BV was measured with UWW and predicted via the IMAGE software. The BV estimates from UWW (3CUWW) and IMAGE (3CIMAGE) were separately combined with constant total body water and body mass values for 3C model calculation of %Fat, FM, and FFM. RESULTS BV obtained from the IMAGE was 67.76 ± 12.19 L and 67.72 ± 12.04 L from UWW, which was not significantly different (p = 0.578), and very largely correlated (r = 0.99, p
