Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the placement and delineation of regions of interests for various abdominal organs, visceral, subcutaneous, and bilateral renal sinus. A: Regions of interests (ROIs) of the left and right lobes of the liver; B-D: ROIs of the upper, middle, and lower poles of the spleen; E: ROIs of the head of the pancreas; F: ROIs of the body, and tail of the pancreas; G: ROIs of the bilateral renal parenchyma; H: ROI of the L3 lumbar vertebra; I: ROIs of the bilateral psoas major muscles; J: The blue area represents the delineation range of the visceral adipose tissue ROI; K: The purple area represents the delineation range of the subcutaneous adipose tissue ROI; L: The yellow area represents the delineation range of the bilateral renal sinus fat ROI. Yellow circle: Regions of interests placement location for the corresponding structures shown in each panel.
