Comparison of computed tomography and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the evaluation of body composition in patients with obesity

Objectivea) To evaluate the accuracy of the pre-existing equations (based on cm2 provided by CT images), to estimate in kilograms (Kg) the body composition (BC) in patients with obesity (PwO), by comparison with Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). b) To evaluate the accuracy of a new approach (b...
