MRI与MRS在肥胖症研究中的应用进展

Progresses in MRI and MRS Studies on Obesity

肥胖症已经成为严重威胁人类健康的主要慢性疾病之一,磁共振成像(MRI)和磁共振波谱(MRS)技术的结合运用,对于评价脂肪组织分布和蓄积程度具有极大的优势.该文总结了近年来MRI与MRS技术在肥胖症研究中的应用进展,并讨论了MRI与MRS技术在肥胖症临床应用及科学研究中的价值.

Obesity has become a serious threat to human health. Magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） and in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy （MRS） provide powerful tools for evaluating the distribution and accumulation of adipose tissues in the body. Here, we reviewed the recent progresses in the applications of MRI and MRS technologies in basic and clinical researches on obesity.
