A hallmark in the establishment of metabolic disease is the deposition of abnormal fat within and around organs and muscle tissue. In view of this, Resonance Health has developed imaging modalities that can provide quantitative assessments of visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and epicardial fat. Such data can be used for the purposes of natural history studies, baseline assessments, and for the monitoring of drug-related effects.
Given the links between hepatic steatosis, diabetes, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, Resonance Health has developed a number of investigational imaging tools to quantify the presence of fat within tissues such as pancreas, kidney, and skeletal muscle.
