Zusammenfassung: This study evaluated the impact of obesity on abdominal ultrasound diagnostics and assessed effect of high-performance ultrasound probes increased imaging quality. Lean and obese subjects (n = 40; 58% female) were categorized according to body mass index (BMI, 21 to 48 kg/m2). A highly standardized ultrasound examination of the abdomen was performed by trained examiners using three different probes in randomized order (standard probe versus two high-performance probes). Quality of B-mode and duplex ultrasound were assessed using a custom scoring approach for depiction of liver and kidney anatomy and vascularization. Across probes, imaging quality of hepatic and kidney anatomy was inversely related with BMI (P < 0.03, r < − 0.35). Age, sex, and BMI explained 51% of the variance within the ultrasound quality score, with β = − 0.35, P < 0.0001 for BMI. Compared to the standard probe, high-performance probes allowed for a better depiction of kidney and liver anatomy in subjects above BMI 35 kg/m2 (n = 20, all P < 0.05), resulting in a less pronounced deterioration of imaging quality with increased BMI (all P < 0.05). In conclusion the study shows that obesity impairs ultrasound imaging quality of abdominal anatomy. The application of high-performance probes can increase anatomic depiction in obese patients.
