CT fat distribution patterns may aid diagnosis in anorexia and Cushing; leaves open whether compartment changes predict outcomes.
How does body fat distribution measured by CT differ among healthy women, those with anorexia nervosa, and those with Cushing syndrome?
CT imaging demonstrates that fat in different body compartments responds differently to disease processes like anorexia nervosa and Cushing syndrome.
Mayo-Smith et al. (1989) studied this question.
