Adipose tissue as part of body composition analysis may serve as a powerful biomarker. Validation of segmented adipose tissue and correlation to clinical data has been performed on non-enhanced scans (NES). As many patients require a contrast enhanced scan (CES) for other aspects of clinical decision making, the utility of CES for body composition analysis would be most useful. Therefore, we analyzed the influence of iodinated contrast medium (ICM) and contrast phase on the characterization and segmentation of adipose tissue.
