Summary

This study is testing a new, radiation-free imaging technique called photoacoustic imaging to look at brown adipose tissue (brown fat), which helps burn energy. Researchers will compare brown fat activity in 100 healthy adults and people with metabolic syndrome, both at rest and after cold exposure. The goal is to see if this imaging method can help diagnose or monitor metabolic conditions like insulin resistance.
