To determine whether adipose tissue is deposited in the neck adjacent to the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), we studied 21 subjects with OSA and nine without OSA using magnetic resonance imaging with a T-1 weighted spin echo sequence and polysomnography. We observed that patients with OSA had a larger volume of adipose tissue adjacent to their upper airway than did subjects without OSA.
为了确定阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）患者的颈部上气道附近是否存在脂肪组织沉积，我们使用T-1加权自旋回波序列磁共振成像和多导睡眠图对21名OSA患者和9名非OSA患者进行了研究。我们观察到，与非OSA受试者相比，OSA患者上气道附近的脂肪组织体积更大。
