• Abstract summary: 2D low dose single slice computed tomography (CT) provides a high resolution, quantitative tissue map. There has been no comprehensive study for low-dose single slice CT longitudinal variability with automated segmentation. We studied 1816 slices from 1469 subjects of Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) abdominal dataset.

• Abstract: Metabolic health is increasingly implicated as a risk factor across conditions from cardiology to neurology, and efficiency assessment of body composition is critical to quantitatively characterizing these relationships. 2D low dose single slice computed tomography (CT) provides a high resolution, quantitative tissue map, albeit with a limited field of view. Although numerous potential analyses have been proposed in quantifying image context, there has been no comprehensive study for low-dose single slice CT longitudinal variability with automated segmentation. We studied a total of 1816 slices from 1469 subjects of Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) abdominal dataset using supervised deep learning-based segmentation and unsupervised clustering method. 300 out of 1469 subjects that have two year gap in their first two scans were pick out to evaluate longitudinal variability with measurements including intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV) in terms of tissues/organs size and mean intensity. We showed that our segmentation methods are stable in longitudinal settings with Dice ranged from 0.821 to 0.962 for thirteen target abdominal tissues structures. We observed high variability in most organ with ICC<0.5, low variability in the area of muscle, abdominal wall, fat and body mask with average ICC>0.8. We found that the variability in organ is highly related to the cross-sectional position of the 2D slice. Our efforts pave quantitative exploration and quality control to reduce uncertainties in longitudinal analysis.

  Two-dimensional single-slice abdominal computed tomography (CT) provides a detailed tissue map with high resolution. longitudinal analysis of body composition changes using these scans is difficult due to positional variation between slices. We propose C-SliceGen, which takes an arbitrary axial slice in the abdominal region as a condition and generates a pre-defined vertebral level slice.

  2D low-dose single-slice abdominal computed tomography (CT) slice enables direct measurements of body composition. longitudinal analysis of body composition changes using 2D abdominal slices is challenging due to positional variance between longitudinal slices acquired in different years. We extend the conditional generative models to our C-SliceGen that takes an arbitrary axial slice in the abdominal region as the condition and generates a defined vertebral level slice.

It demonstrated a strong potential for clinical use, including the hip fracture risk prediction and finite element analysis.
