MRI has proven to be a reliable, fast, noninvasive means for assessing deep fat in adults. It can also be effective in high-risk pre-adolescents and adolescents, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology.
MRI has proven to be a reliable, fast, noninvasive means for assessing deep fat in adults. It can also be effective in high-risk pre-adolescents and adolescents, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology. Internal fat around the abdominal organs is potentially harmful and difficult to assess.
Dr. Marilyn J. Siegel and colleagues at Washington University's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis assessed 20 boys and 10 girls between the ages of 10 and 18 who underwent single-section and whole-abdominal multisection MRI.
The investigators found that T1-weighted MRI measurements of abdominal adipose tissue corresponded with results from anthropometric assessment and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (Radiology 242:846-856).
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
