Nine obese patients (4M/5F) showing on a standard chest-X-ray a right subdiaphragmatic radiolucent area were submitted to ecography. This method excluded pathologic causes and showed adipose tissue as the cause of the increased distance between diaphragm and liver. Besides, ecography showed some limits in the evaluation of adipose area, because of the difficulty in studying obese patients.
9名肥胖患者（4名男性/5名女性）在标准胸部X光片上显示右膈下有透亮区，接受了超声检查。该方法排除了病理原因，显示脂肪组织是膈肌与肝脏之间距离增加的原因。此外，由于研究肥胖患者存在困难，超声检查在评估脂肪区域方面存在一些局限性。
