Diagnostic Ultrasound for Measuring Fat of the Body

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Subcutaneous Fat
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: LOGIQ P6 Diagnostic Ultrasound

• Registration Number: NCT03871556
• Lead Sponsor: Northwestern University

Brief Summary

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.
