Identification of Differences in Body Composition Measures Using 3D-Derived Artificial Intelligence from Multiple CT Scans across the L3 Vertebra Compared to a Single Mid-Point L3 CT Scan.

Significant differences in various body composition measures were observed when comparing non-mid-L3 slices to only the mid-L3 slice. Researchers should be aware that considering only the use of a single midpoint L3 CT scan slice will impact the estimate of body composition measurements.
