Summary: The study found that the performance of radiomics models for predicting DFS in NSCLC patients was not significantly affected by CT slice thickness. The models showed consistent performance across different slice thickness datasets and the mixed slice thickness dataset, indicating that CT slice thickness does not impact the prognostic accuracy of radiomics models.

Summary: Objective body composition assessment derived from cross-sectional imaging has shown promising results as a prognostic biomarker in several tumor entities. In this study, we aimed to analyze the role of low skeletal muscle mass and fat areas for prognosis of dose-limiting toxicity and treatment response in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Summary: This study evaluated the interchangeability of assessing skeletal muscle mass and sarcopenia on CT and MRI neck scans, showing high correlation and agreement between CT and MRI in assessing CSA and SMI. This suggests that future clinical outcome assessment during treatment can be done using either modality.

Summary: The study found that low-dose neck CT scans from [F-18]-FDG PET-CT can provide comparable results to diagnostic neck CT scans in head and neck cancer patients. This enables SMI analysis in patients without a diagnostic neck CT but with a [F-18]-FDG PET-CT scan.

Summary: The prevalence of sarcopenia defined using DXA and CT varies substantially, and the agreement between the two modalities is poor.

Summary: A study found that preoperative skeletal muscle indices are associated with improved peri-operative outcomes after surgical resection of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but it is unclear if they can predict long term cancer specific outcomes.

Summary: This study found that healthy skeletal muscle is associated with a longer 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) in postoperative lung cancer patients, and the proportion of low attenuation muscle is related to DFS. Further research is needed to confirm if radiodensity-based detailed skeletal muscle quantification could predict prognosis in NSCLC.

Summary: This study validates the clinical value of promising radiomic features in decoding lung cancer heterogeneity. The features were robust and associated with patient long-term prognosis, cancer profiles, and could predict survival and death risk better than routine characteristics.

Summary: This study analyzed the prognostic markers of skeletal muscle area and psoas muscle area in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The results showed that a smaller psoas muscle area was a significant risk factor for poor prognosis in TBI patients, and psoas muscle was a better predictor of prognosis than skeletal muscle in TBI patients.

Summary: The study compared the speed of ultrasound waves and computed tomography for muscle loss assessment, finding moderate correlations between calf SoS and abdominal muscle, psoas muscle, and abdominal area, weak correlations with subcutaneous fat area, and a weak correlation between BMI and psoas attenuation. Normalizing muscle area and BMI with abdominal area showed moderate correlations with abdominal muscle area. The results suggest potential for accurate muscle loss quantification based on CT sarcopenia threshold values.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia based on psoas volume index (PVI) and clinical outcomes in early-stage NSCLC patients. The results showed that sarcopenia diagnosed using PVI is an independent prognostic predictor of overall survival, recurrence-free survival, and lung cancer-specific survival in early-stage NSCLC.

Summary: This study demonstrates that CT-based skeletal muscle index (SMI) has a distinct dose-dependent relationship with future major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The lower quartiles of SMI independently predict 3-year all-cause mortality and MACEs, enhancing cardiovascular risk stratification.

Summary: This study examined the association of skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the thoracic level with nutritional and clinical outcomes and response to nutritional intervention. The results showed that SMI at the thoracic vertebra provided limited prognostic information regarding clinical outcomes and nutritional treatment response.

Summary: Measurement of skeletal muscle mass on chest CT can serve as a feasible alternative to abdominal CT, showing a strong correlation with measurements taken at the abdominal level. This may aid in diagnosing low skeletal muscle mass and could potentially be useful as a prognostic or triage tool in situations of mechanical ventilator shortage.
