Upcoming Forums
March 21, 2025. CT-based Body Composition: The Sky is the Limit
Dr. Kirti Magudia will demonstrate how CT-based body composition analysis techniques using deep learning provide quantification of skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and subcutaneous fat, which have been correlated with overall survival, cancer-related outcomes, and cardiovascular events, among other clinical outcomes.
