Background and aims Computed tomography (CT)-based measurement of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and Hounsfield unit (HU) radiodensity are used to assess the presence of sarcopenia and myosteatosis, respectively. The validated CT-based t... Read More about Computer Tomography-Based Psoas Skeletal Muscle Area and Radiodensity are Poor Sentinels for Whole L3 Skeletal Muscle Values.
