Abstract

PURPOSE: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is screened for or assessed by manual waist circumference (WC) measurements or adipose tissue evaluation using supine multidetector CT (MDCT). Currently, upright MDCT was clinically established and tested for different clinical aims. The purpose of this study was to directly compare the utility of metabolic disorder assessments and the diagnosis of MetS among WC,…
