Purpose of the review We aim to review the methods, current research evidence, and future
directions in body composition analysis (BCA) with CT imaging. Recent findings CT images …

CS imaging can reliably measure muscle and fat distribution and uniquely discriminate
between intra-abdominal organ and muscle component of fat-free mass. It precisely tracks …

As most COVID-19 patients only receive thoracic CT scans, but body composition, which is
relevant to detect sarcopenia, is determined in abdominal scans, this study aimed to …

We assessed the impact of chest CT body composition parameters on outcomes and
disease severity at hospital presentation of COVID-19 patients, focusing also on the possible …

Background & aims The quantity and quality of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is an
important prognostic factor for clinical outcomes across several illnesses. Clinically acquired …

Background Body composition is associated with survival outcome in oncological patients,
but it is not routinely calculated. Manual segmentation of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) …

Purpose Body composition is of great prognostic value in several severe diseases, including
different types of cancer as well as cardiometabolic disorders. We aimed to investigate the …

Background Computed tomography (CT) has been increasingly used to quantify abdominal
muscle and fat in clinical research studies, and multiple studies have shown importance of …

Automated computed tomography (CT) scan segmentation (labelling of pixels according to
tissue type) is now possible. This technique is being adapted to achieve three‐dimensional …

Obesity is a characteristic of COVID-19 patients and the risk of malnutrition can be
underestimated due to excess of fat: a paradoxical danger. Long ICU hospitalization …
