Fully automated CT-based adiposity assessment: comparison of the L1 and L3 vertebral levels for opportunistic prediction.
Daniel LiuJohn W GarrettMatt H LeeRyan ZeaRonald M SummersPerry J. PickhardtPublished in: Abdominal radiology (New York) (2022)
Automated CT-based measures of visceral fat (VAT and VSR) at L1 are predictive of survival, although overall measures of adiposity at L1 level are somewhat inferior to the standard L3-level measures. Utilizing predictive L1-level fat measures could expand opportunistic screening to chest CT imaging.
