Ultrasonography evaluation of abdominal fat in live rats.
We have developed a new noninvasive method of estimating abdominal fat volume in live rats using ultrasonography. By this method, cross sections of perirenal (retroperitoneal) fat tissue, which is an abdominal fat, at the renal vein level could be identified and the area determined. The perirenal fat in Wistar rats (wide body weight range, 111.4 to 497.3 g; limited range, 300.1 to 337.9 g) meas...
متن کاملImproving Accuracy for Image Fusion in Abdominal Ultrasonography.
Image fusion involving real-time ultrasound (US) is a technique where previously recorded computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance images (MRI) are reformatted in a projection to fit the real-time US images after an initial co-registration. The co-registration aligns the images by means of common planes or points. We evaluated the accuracy of the alignment when varying parameters as patie...
متن کاملThe Predictive Value of Abdominal Ultrasonography Compared to CT Scan for the Evaluation of Pediatric Lymphoma
Background: Given the children's susceptibility to the harmful radiation of computerized tomography (CT) scans, ultrasonography can be a good alternative in staging pediatric lymphoma. The present study aimed to assess the predictive value of abdominal ultrasonography compared to CT scan in children with lymphoma. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two children with confirmed lymphoma were included ...
متن کاملEvaluation of abdominal fat index by ultrasonography and its relationship with psoriasis and metabolic syndrome
Introduction Accumulating evidence indicates that psoriasis is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Psoriasis and obesity share similar inflammatory mediators, and obesity may potentiate some inflammatory cytokines seen in psoriasis. Body fat distribution, particularly visceral adipose tissue (VAT), is an important factor in metabolic syndrome and atherosclerotic diseases. An associa...
متن کاملMetabolic correlates of subcutaneous and visceral abdominal fat measured by ultrasonography: a comparison with waist circumference.
BACKGROUND The relative contribution of visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue to cardiometabolic disease is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dissecting abdominal fat in VAT and SAT using US may detect stronger and more specific association with MS, MS components, hyperuricemia and altered liver enzymes compared to waist circumference. METHODS We perf...
