Fig. 4

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 lowest quartile 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). Between CT images, the fat area decreased by 89.9 cm2 (baseline: 370.0 cm2, one-year follow-up: 280.1 cm2). This patient died 10 months later despite receiving a lung transplantation
