Diagnostic Ultrasound for Measuring Fat of the Body

The purpose of this study is to provide information about human subcutaneous fat thickness at different anatomic sites on the body by measuring these thicknesses with a diagnostic ultrasound and also by correlating patient perceptions of body image with measured fat distribution.

Subjects currently living in the Chicago metropolitan area and meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment.

Treatment and study plan

LOGIQ P6 Diagnostic Ultrasound

Diagnostic Test

Ultrasound measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in Thickness of Subcutaneous Fat at Different Anatomic Sites on the Body

    Time frame: through study completion, 1 day

    Will use diagnostic ultrasound to measure fat thickness

  2. Gender Differences on Patient Perceptions of Body Image With Measured Fat Distribution

    Time frame: through study completion, 1 day

    Will use diagnostic ultrasound to measure fat thickness and a questionnaire to assess subject perceptions of their body using a 10-point Likert scale (1= very unsatisfied, 10= very satisfied)
