Abstract
Quantification of body composition plays an important role in many clinical and research applications. Radiologic imaging techniques such as Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) imaging make accurate quantification of the body composition possible. This disclosure presents an automated, efficient, accurate, and practical body composition quantification method for low dose CT images; method for quantification of disease from images; and methods for implementing virtual landmarks.
