Concordance between single-slice abdominal computed tomography-based and bioelectrical impedance-based analysis of body composition in a prospective study
Question CT-based body composition analysis (BCA) is moving more and more into clinical focus, but validation against established methods is lacking. Findings Fully automated CT-based BCA correlates very strongly with guideline-accepted bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Clinical relevance BCA is currently moving further into clinical focus to improve assessment of patient frailty and individualize therapies accordingly. Comparability with established BIA strengthens the value of CT-based BCA and supports its translation into clinical routine.
