Fully automated measurement of total adipose tissue volume using quantitative chemical shift MRI: Phantom Validation
INTRODUCTION. Accurate identification and quantification of total adipose tissue (TAT) volume is a key first step for segmentation and measurement of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT), which are critical metrics in diagnosis and treatment of obesity-related diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome (1-3). Anthropometric measurements of waist cir...
متن کاملAdipose Measurement Using Micro MRI
The increased incidence of obesity and well-documented co-morbidities, have lead to the recognition that obesity is a public health epidemic (Mann, 1974; Larsson et al., 1984). Excess adipose tissue is a high risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic syndrome (Manson et al, 1990). These two diseases both rank high on the list of leading causes of morbidity and mortality not only in the devel...

متن کاملAdipose tissue changes in obesity.
This review gives a broad description of some of the changes in adipose tissue seen in obesity. There are multiple changes in adipose tissue in obesity: histological, neural and vascular, relating to lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and to adipose tissue's endocrine functions. Some may originate from a simple physical expansion of cell size and number. It is unclear which are the most importan...
متن کاملAdipose tissue angiogenesis in obesity.
Adipose tissue is the most plastic tissue in all multicellular organisms, being constantly remodelled along with weight gain and weight loss. Expansion of adipose tissue must be accompanied by that of its vascularisation, through processes of angiogenesis, whereas weight loss is associated with the regression of blood vessels. Adipose tissue is thus among the tissues that have the highest angio...
