Fig 1 Ultrasound imaging of the abdominal wall in elderly obese patients. (a) Abdominal muscles are seen as one mass. (b) More than three layers are depicted when the abdominal muscles were scanned. (c) Although the three layers were seen, the echo-texture, the echogenicity, and the fascia of the abdominal muscles could not be clearly outlined. AM, abdominal muscles; AT, adipose tissue; E, external, I, internal; T, transverse oblique abdominal muscle.
