Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Fully automated, artificial intelligence (AI) -based software has recently become available for scalable body composition analysis. Prior to broad application in the clinical arena, validation studies are needed. Our goal was to compare the results of a fully automated, AI-based software with a semi-automatic software in a sample of hospitalized patients.
