PROBLEMS OF DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING IN THE OBEZITY AND METABOLIC SYNDROM
VLKOVÁ, Renata
Metabolic syndrome is characterised by a combination of metabolic disorders and diseases with very serious consequences. Obesity is defined as being overweight with a high proportion of fatty tissue. According to the WHO, obesity is considered a serious epidemic of the 21st century. The aim of this work is to summarise mentioned issues from the available literature and to describe individual imaging modalities in diagnostic radiology related to metabolic syndrome, together with the evaluation of fat tissue distribution in the abdominal area, including its changes, after nutritional education and treatment in a monitored patient group. Participants have been randomised for the study group from the Centre for Adult Obesity and their BMI had to exceed 25. The main requirements were a voluntary cooperation, non-pharmacological methods of obesity treatment and weight limited to 140 kg. All of the addressed patients have shown their interest and willingness to continue this cooperation in the future.
