棕色脂肪组织影像学技术的研究进展

Research progress of brown adipose tissue imaging technology

糖尿病、肥胖和代谢性疾病在全球范围高发,营养及能量过剩是其重要机制。近年来,诱导和增加内源性能量消耗,特别是棕色脂肪组织(BAT)的激活成为新的治疗靶点。无创性的影像技术,包括放射性核素显像、MRI、超声成像、光学成像等对BAT活性的定量监测具有重要意义。文章就这些影像技术在BAT中的应用进展进行综述。

Diabetes,obesity,and metabolic diseases are globally prevalent,and induction and increase of endogenous energy consumption,especially activation of brown adipose tissue(BAT),is a new therapeutic target.Non-invasive imaging techniques,including radionuclide imaging,MRI,ultrasound imaging,and optical imaging,have attracted wide attention in BAT monitoring and have good application prospects.This article reviews the progress and application of these imaging techniques in BAT monitoring.
