Percentile-based averaging and skeletal muscle gauge improve body composition analysis: validation at multiple vertebral levels

Background: Skeletal muscle metrics on computed tomography (CT) correlate with clinical and patient-reported outcomes. We hypothesize that aggregating skeletal muscle measurements from multiple vertebral levels and skeletal muscle gauge (SMG) better predict outcomes than skeletal muscle radioattenua...
