Xenon‐enhanced computed tomography assessment of brown adipose tissue distribution and perfusion in lean, obese, and diabetic primates

Abstract

This study aimed to validate xenon‐enhanced computed tomography (XECT) for the detection of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and to use XECT to assess differences in BAT distribution and perfusion between lean, obese, and diabetic nonhuman primates (NHPs).
