Résumé
There are currently several reported techniques of sonographic subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) measurement described in the literature. This systematic review aims to report techniques of SAT measurement using ultrasonography. A systematic literature search was performed and identified 39 relevant articles using ultrasonography to quantify abdominal SAT. The following parameters were collected: type of measurement, ultrasound machine make/model, transducer frequency, external/internal landmarks, pressure applied on probe, special techniques and inter-/intraobserver reliability. Literature findings related to the above parameters were summarized. A summary of the most common techniques and parameters is provided, serving as a reference for a necessary standardized approach.
