Radiographic analysis of body composition by computerized axial tomography

  • 1. Emory Univ., Atlanta, GA (USA). School of Medicine

Description

Radiographic methods of evaluating body composition have been applied for over five decades. A marked improvement in this approach occurred in the mid-nineteen-seventies with the introduction of computerized axial tomography. High image contrast, cross-sectional imaging and rapid computerized data processing make this technique a sophisticated clinically applicable tool. (author)
