Intended Use and Medical Indication
Yscope is mainly used for healthy and obese patients in hospitals, medical practices and inpatient care facilities
in accordance with national regulations. It can be used to assist in the assessment of the abdominal obesity. Body
Fat distribution analysis is an important factor in preventive medicine since it provides the basis of appropriate
physical activity and dietary habits for improving personal daily routine. It can be also usefully applied to follow-
up studies of patients treated for various diseases.
• Obesity: Percent body fat is considered to be more appropriate but the distribution of body fat may be more
important to health than the classification of obesity or the total amount of body fat. Visceral fat obesity is more
frequently accompanied by circulatory disorders, and the aging is therefore associated with a shift of fat to a more
central fat deposition, especially to the visceral.
• Diabetes & Endocrinology: Diabetes is often associated with excess fat, however having insufficient muscle mass
is just as detrimental and increases diabetes risk. Visceral fat also plays a key role in the development of
metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
* The Yscope is not a diagnostic device. To make an accurate diagnosis, a physician must go through a thorough
examinations and take their results into account in addition to the results of the Yscope.
* The Yscope is not used in home healthcare environment.
