Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 265 CP patients, 20.4% were found to have sarcopenia, with specific height-adjusted cutoffs for muscle area established at 3.3 cm/m for men and 2.5 cm/m for women to help in diagnosis.
- * Results showed that using psoas muscle measurements is an effective and practical method for diagnosing sarcopenia, with good sensitivity and specificity rates.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare radiation dose and image quality of single- and dual-energy CT (SECT, DECT) examinations of the chest in matched cohorts for second and third-generation dual-source CT (DSCT) systems.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed 200 patients (100 men; mean age, 61.7 ± 14.
Background/objectives: Body composition assessment by computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in various patient groups. This study aimed to compare the reliability and validity of a newly in-house developed segmentation software VikingSlice against a commercial software (SliceOMatic) for quantification of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle cross-sectional areas (CSA).
Subjects/methods: Fifty abdominal CT sets from chronic pancreatitis patients were analyzed (mean age 49, range 27-84 years; 38 males).
