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

Abstract 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 radi...
