Fig. 2From: Polyglycolic acid sutures embedded in abdominal acupoints for treatment of simple obesity in adults: a randomized control trialThe measurement of abdominal subcutaneous fat tissue’s thickness by using B-model ultrasound. A 15-MHz linear transducer was placed perpendicular to the skin surface. Subcutaneous fat thickness (mm) was measured as the perpendicular distance from the skin surface to the upper border of the adipose/muscle interfaceBack to article page
