The Impact of Radiation Dose on CT‐Based Body Composition Analysis: A Large‐Animal Study
Fully automated BCA maintains consistent results in various low-dose settings. Significant deviations are only observed after more than 90% dose reduction in the lowest dose settings (5%), which are currently not used in the clinical routine. This large-animal study demonstrates the consistency of fully automated BCA in different dose settings and may therefore facilitate its integration into the clinical routine.
