How Analyze was Used
“For each pig, five EBCT-derived cross-sections (at the level of renal hilum) were analyzed to estimate the amount of intra-abdominal fat tissue [Shen et al. 2003, Snell-Burgeon et al. 2004]. With the use of image analysis software (Analyze …), the density range of subcutaneous fat tissue was used to automatically threshold the adipose tissue in the entire image.”
