Abdominal Fat Assessment Protocol

Body weight and height were measured and used to calculate body mass index (BMI) (kg.m⁻²). Waist circumference was measured at the midpoint between the lower border of the rib cage and the iliac crest. Quadrupedal bioelectric impedance was used to evaluate total fat and to estimate lean body mass (Omron BF511, Omron, Japan).
Abdominal fat distribution was measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using gradient recalled echo (GRE) sequence, TR: 134ms, TE: 2.38/5.24ms on 1.5 T Magnetom Symphony MRI scanner (Siemens, Germany). The area of visceral and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue depots was evaluated semi/automatically using the Siemens Syngo User interface (Siemens, Germany) by averaging the area of 5 consecutive slices (1 cm apart) centred between the L4 and L5 vertebrae.

Pediatric Neuroimaging Procedure at CUBIC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Upon arrival at CUBIC, a research-dedicated, child-friendly neuroimaging facility, the children were familiarized with the scanning procedures by first practicing in a mock scanner. The children were imaged using a 1.5T Magnetom Symphony MRI scanner (Siemens Medical Systems, Erlangen, Germany). High-resolution anatomical images were acquired in the sagittal plane using a three-dimensional inversion recovery gradient echo sequence (72 slices, TR=1900 ms, TE=3.93 ms, TI=1100 ms, slice thickness 2mm), 250 × 250 mm field of view, resolution 1.4 × 1.0 × 2 mm. Intracranial volume and hippocampal volumes were extracted by NCD using FreeSurfer V5.1.0 automated segmentation.

High-Resolution Anatomical and Functional MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All scans were acquired using a 1.5 T Magnetom Symphony MRI Scanner (Siemens Medical Systems, Erlangen, Germany). High-resolution anatomical images were acquired in the sagittal plane using a three-dimensional inversion recovery gradient echo sequence (72 slices, TR = 1900 ms, TE = 3.93 ms, TI = 1100 ms, slice thickness 2 mm, 250 mm field of view, resolution 1.4 × 1.0 × 2 mm³). During the fMRI protocol, 154 functional volumes sensitive to blood oxygen level dependent contrast were acquired with a T2*-weighted gradient echo, echo planar imaging sequence (TR = 2000 ms, TE = 50 ms, 20 interleaved slices, 5 mm thick, gap 1 mm, 230 mm field of view, resolution 3.6 × 3.6 × 5 mm³).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
