Utility of ultrasound for body fat assessment: validity and reliability compared to a multicompartment criterion.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ventilation-perfusion (VQ) scintigraphy and lung function testing are often used to assess allograft function after single lung transplantation (SLTX). However, it is unknown whether allograft defects on VQ scintigraphy presage all-cause mortality after SLTX. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether allograft defec...
