Fig. 3

Representative case of fully automated CT-based body composition analysis in (A) baseline and (B) one-year follow-up CT images in a patient belonging to the upper three quartiles of the change in fat area. Axial images at the T12-L1 vertebral level demonstrate visceral fat (green), subcutaneous fat (yellow), and skeletal muscle (red).
