A Detailed Survey On The Quantification Of The Cardiac Fat Depots On The Cardiac CT Scans And MRI Scans.
Abstract: Cardiac fat depots are associated with the heart diseases.Epicardial fat and thoracic fat plays the major role in the development of cardiovascular disease.The increased thickness of the epicardial and thoracic fat leads to several diseases such as metabolic syndrome,coronaryatherosclerosis,etc.It is necessary to quantify the epicardial adipose tissue(EAT) and thoracic adipose tissue(TAT).There are various imaging and assessing techniques for the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) quantification and thoracic adipose tissue(TAT) quantification.These tissues …
