What is it indicated for?

The GE Lunar Visceral Fat Software option used on GE Lunar DEXA bone densitometer total body scans estimates the visceral adipose tissue (visceral fat) content within the android region in a male or female population between the age of 18 and 90 with a BMI between 18.5 and 40, excluding pregnant women. The content that is estimated is the Visceral Fat Mass and Visceral Fat Volume. The values can be displayed in user defined statistical formats and…

The GE Lunar Visceral Fat Software option used on GE Lunar DEXA bone densitometer total body scans estimates the visceral adipose tissue (visceral fat) content within the android region in a male or female population between the age of 18 and 90 with a BMI between 18.5 and 40, excluding pregnant women. The content that is estimated is the Visceral Fat Mass and Visceral Fat Volume. The values can be displayed in user defined statistical formats and trends.

The estimated visceral fat content is useful to health care professionals in their management of diseases/conditions where the disease/condition itself, or its treatment, can affect the relative amounts of visceral fat content in the android region. The GE Lunar Visceral Fat Body Composition Software option does not diagnose disease, or recommend treatment regimens, or quantify treatment effectiveness. Only the health care professional can make these judgments. Some of the diseases/conditions for which visceral fat estimation is useful include hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
