Figure Lengend Snippet: a Posteroanterior (PA) scout-view of chest CT. The horizontal red line indicates the central level of the L2 vertebral body. b Measurement of liver fat fraction (LFF). Three yellow regions of interest (ROIs) were placed positioned in the left hepatic lobe, right anterior hepatic lobe, and right posterior hepatic lobe at the level where the right branch of the portal vein enters the liver. c Measurement of muscle fat fraction (MFF). Two blue ROIs were placed in the left and right paravertebral extensor muscles at the central level of L2. d Measurement of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT, VAT), and lean tissue (LT). The green contour outlines VAT (blue area) and LT (green area) at the central level of L2, and the blue area outside the contour represents SAT. e Measurement of bone mineral density (BMD). The red ROI was placed within the cancellous bone of the vertebral body

Article Snippet: The red ROI was placed within the cancellous bone of the vertebral body A. Lumbar volumetric BMD (mg/cm3) was measured at L1 and L2 vertebrae using the Lumbar BMD Module, calibrated daily against the Model 4 phantom (QCT Pro, Mindways Software Inc.).
