Development and validation of a rapid and robust method to determine visceral adipose tissue volume using computed tomography images.

Development and validation of a rapid and robust method to determine visceral adipose tissue volume using computed tomography images.

Visceral adiposity is a risk factor for many chronic diseases. Existing methods to quantify visceral adipose tissue volume using computed tomographic (CT) images often use a single slice, are manual, and are time consuming, making them impractical for large population studies. We developed and valid...
