Optimizing CT‐Based Models for Predicting Whole‐Body Fat in Rabbits

> 0.7, p < 0.001) for all but one body region-counting combination. The best model predicting whole-body Fat% used CT data from left kidney region, HU Range 2, and three-dimensional counting technique. The optimal model predicting whole-body fat (g) used CT data from the entire abdominal region, HU Range 1, and a one-dimensional counting technique. The CT-based models for estimating whole-body fat in rabbits are feasible. Model optimization requires appropriate selection of the body region, CT number ranges, and counting techniques.
