Brown adipose tissue detected by FDG PET/CT is associated with less central abdominal visceral fat

Summary

The supplied citation appears to correspond to a 2015 conference abstract listed as “Brown adipose tissue detected by FDG PET/CT is associated with less central abdominal visceral fat,” by A. Green, U. Bagci, P. Kelly, and M. Osman, in the *Journal of Nuclear Medicine*, 56 (supplement 3), page 1416. A secondary source lists these details.
