METHOD OF RADIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF VISCERAL OBESITY Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B6/03 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, cardiology, radial diagnostics and can be used for diagnostics of visceral obesity. Computed tomography is performed at symmetrical relative to medial line of body horizontal position of patient with obtaining computer-tomographic images of two transverse cuts of trunk 7 mm thick at the level between II and III lumbar vertebrae and between IV and V lumbar vertebrae (levels L_II-III and L_IV-V). On each cut areas of visceral adipose tissue are identified with isolation of zone of abdominal cavity on abdominal fascia, and on posterior surface - with elimination of muscles of the back. After that, the sum of areas of visceral adipose tissue at level L_II-III and L_IV-V is calculated. If values of index of the sum of areas of visceral adipose tissue on two levels is 223 cm² and higher, visceral obesity is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method ensures high accuracy, availability, simplicity and promptness of visceral obesity diagnostics.
