How do radiological methods (CT, MRI, ultrasound) compare to anthropometric measurements for assessing visceral obesity in patients with metabolic syndrome?
Radiological methods (CT, MRI, ultrasound) can be algorithmically applied to assess visceral obesity in patients with metabolic syndrome, providing diagnostic models that compare favorably with simple anthropometric measurements.
Imaging thresholds may aid visceral obesity assessment in metabolic syndrome; leaves open validation against anthropometrics in prospective studies.
In order to assess the possibility of applying the methods of radiation diagnosis of visceral obesity in the metabolic syndrome in clinical practice and compare their results with indicators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were examined 78 patients (38 men and 40 women), mean age (45.9 ± 15.5). All patients underwent computed or magnetic resonance imaging according to standard procedure, an ultrasound evaluation of various parameters: the thickness of visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and their ratio, the thickness of preperitoneal fat in the target level. Based on the application of ROC-analysis identified thresholds for all radiological methods, a comparative analysis of the studied diagnostic models (tomographic methods and the ultrasonic method) compared with the anthropometric measurements (WC/HС). Using these results, the algorithm was ray studies of visceral obesity in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Suslyayeva et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic syndrome (n=78). Radiological and ultrasound imaging (CT, MRI, Ultrasound) vs. Anthropometric measurements (WC/HC) was evaluated on Diagnostic thresholds for radiological methods based on ROC-analysis.
