Figure 2. Location of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Biopsies with MRI and Ultrasound Guidance.

Figure 2

A. Single slice from 3-Tesla MRI scan shows VAT as well as sSAT and dSAT separated by the Scarpa’s fascia. Adipose tissue was obtained from dSAT (denoted by circle) below the Scarpa’s fascia (arrowhead). B-C. Representative US images are from 1 of the 18 biopsies performed under US guidance. B. Bergström biopsy needle above the Scarpa’s fascia (arrowhead). C. Bergström biopsy needle below the Scarpa’s fascia, approximately 2–3 inches below the skin (arrowhead), where we sampled dSAT.
