Figure 1.
A 52-year-old male with gallbladder stone.
One stone can be found in neck of gallbladder (A) and navel level image was found by a localizer sequence (B). SAT is to be the area between outline of abdominal skin and the outer abdominal muscle (C). VAT is to be enterocoelia and retroperitoneal region between the inside edge of abdominal muscles and the spinal front. Intestines and big vessels that have been circled by green line are not included in the intra-abdominal fat area (D). Axial fast-recovery fast spin-echo T2-weighted images without fat suppression shows intra-abdominal fat with SAT = 96.21 cm2 and VAT = 104.05 cm2.
