Relationship Between Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Volumetric Assessment and X-ray Computed Tomography–Derived Single-Slice Measurement of Visceral Fat
Abstract
To reduce radiation exposure and cost, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) measurement on X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been limited to a single slice. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) application validated against CT to measure VAT volume. The purpose of this study was to develop an algorithm to compute single-slice area values on DXA at 2 common landmarks, L2/3 and L4/5, from an...
