A Decade of Progress in Ultrasound Assessments of Subcutaneous and Total Body Fat: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Body composition assessment by ultrasonography is a vivid research field. Ultrasound (US) can be used to quantify subcutaneous and visceral fat, to evaluate the quantity and quality of skeletal muscle, and to infer intracellular fat content. This scoping review aimed to summarize recent advancements in subcutaneous fat estimation using US and related applications. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science to identify original articles published in English between 1 January 2014 and 20 December 2024.
