Abstract
Body composition is now recognized to have a major impact on health and disease. Imaging enables its analysis in an objective and quantitative way through diverse techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography. This review article first surveys the methodological aspects underpinning the use of these modalities to assess body composition, highlighting their strengths and limitations as well as the set of parameters that they measure and their clinical relevance. It then provides an update on the main applications of body composition imaging in current practice, with a focus on sarcopenia, obesity, lipodystrophies, cancer, and critical care. We conclude by considering the emerging role of artificial intelligence in the analysis of body composition, enabling the extraction of numerous metrics with the potential to refine prognostication and management across a number of pathologies, paving the way toward personalized medicine.
目前,人们已认识到身体成分对健康和疾病有重大影响。通过双能 X 射线吸收测量法、计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和超声波成像等多种技术,成像技术可以对身体成分进行客观、定量的分析。这篇综述文章首先探讨了使用这些模式评估身体成分的方法,强调了它们的优势和局限性,以及它们测量的一系列参数及其临床意义。然后,文章介绍了人体成分成像在当前实践中的主要应用,重点关注肌肉疏松症、肥胖症、脂肪营养不良症、癌症和重症监护。最后,我们探讨了人工智能在身体成分分析中的新兴作用,人工智能可以提取多种指标,从而有可能完善多种病症的预后和管理,为实现个性化医疗铺平道路。
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology is a review journal that is devoted to musculoskeletal and associated imaging techniques. The journal''s topical issues encompass a broad spectrum of radiological imaging including body MRI imaging, cross sectional radiology, ultrasound and biomechanics. The journal also covers advanced imaging techniques of metabolic bone disease and other areas like the foot and ankle, wrist, spine and other extremities.
The journal''s content is suitable for both the practicing radiologist as well as residents in training.
