The Role of Pleura and Adipose in Lung Ultrasound AI [PDF]
LL-COVID19 2021. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 12969.
Springer, Cham, 2022 In this paper, we study the significance of the pleura and adipose tissue in lung ultrasound AI analysis. We highlight their more prominent appearance when using high-frequency linear (HFL) instead of curvilinear ultrasound probes, showing HFL reveals better pleura detail.

X-ray attenuation of adipose breast tissue: in-vitro and in-vivo measurements using spectral imaging [PDF]
Proc. SPIE 9412, Medical Imaging 2015, 94121U, 2021 The development of new x-ray imaging techniques often requires prior knowledge of tissue attenuation, but the sources of such information are sparse. We have measured the attenuation of adipose breast tissue using spectral imaging, in vitro and in vivo.

Fatty Acid Metabolite Profiling Reveals Oxylipins as Markers of Brown but Not Brite Adipose Tissue
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 Metabolites of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are important signaling molecules implicated in the control of adipogenesis and energy balance regulation.

Energy metabolism in brown adipose tissue
The FEBS Journal, 2021 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is well known to burn calories through uncoupled respiration, producing heat to maintain body temperature. This ‘calorie wasting’ feature makes BAT a special tissue, which can function as an ‘energy sink’ in mammals.

Measurement of breast-tissue x-ray attenuation by spectral imaging: fresh and fixed normal and malignant tissue [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 63(23) (2018), 2021 Knowledge of x-ray attenuation is essential for developing and evaluating x-ray imaging technologies. In mammography, measurement of breast density, dose estimation, and differentiation between cysts and solid tumours are example applications requiring accurate data on tissue attenuation.

Nature Communications, 2021 Brown and beige adipose tissue are emerging as distinct endocrine organs. These tissues are functionally associated with skeletal muscle, adipose tissue metabolism and systemic energy expenditure, suggesting an interorgan signaling network.

Brown adipose tissue and bone [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity Supplements, 2015 Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is capable of transforming chemically stored energy, in the form of triglycerides, into heat. Recent studies have shown that metabolically active BAT is present in a large proportion of adult humans, where its activity correlates with a favorable metabolic status. Hence, the tissue is now regarded as an interesting target for

The kallikrein–kinin pathway as a mechanism for auto-control of brown adipose tissue activity
Nature Communications, 2020 Brown adipose tissue, known produce heat by metabolizing fat, is also secretes molecules capable of communicating with other organs. Here the authors show that brown adipose tissue secretes kininogen, a component of heat system regulation, that provides ...

Identification and importance of brown adipose tissue in adult humans.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 BACKGROUND Obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. In rodents and newborn humans, brown adipose tissue helps regulate energy expenditure by thermogenesis mediated by the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), but ...

Cold-activated brown adipose tissue in healthy men.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 BACKGROUND Studies in animals indicate that brown adipose tissue is important in the regulation of body weight, and it is possible that individual variation in adaptive thermogenesis can be attributed to variations in the amount or activity of brown ...
