چکیده
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to determine the feasibility of using computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) techniques to automatically identify, localize, and measure body fat tissue from a rapid whole-body MRI examination. CONCLUSION Whole-body MRI in conjunction with CAD allows a fast, automatic, and accurate approach to body fat measurement and localization and can be a useful alternative to body mass index. Whole-body fat analysis can be achieved in less than 5 min.

متن کاملFat requirement of Bester in winter feeding; effect of fat levels on growth indices and body chemical composition
This study aimed to determine the fat requirement and effect of dietary fat levels on growth and body composition indices of Bester (Huso huso ♀ × Acipenser ruthenus ♂) juveniles( 200.3 ± 2 g) in winter feeding. Fish were fed by 5 isonitrogenous diets (40% crude protein) with different fat levels including 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22%, 3 times daily according to the satiation for 50 days. The results...
