Testing body-composition analysis software on CT scans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study validates new software that analyzes body composition (muscle and fat) from CT scans of the abdomen. Researchers are using existing, anonymized CT scans from public databases to ensure the software works fairly across different ages, sexes, and body types.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were at least 16 years old when your CT scan was taken
- Your CT scan is from one of six specific public research databases (autoPET, AMOS, MSD Pancreas, CT-ORG, ENHANCE.PET, or RATIC)
- Your CT scan includes a clear image of the L3 vertebra (a bone in your lower spine) suitable for analysis
- Your scan record includes basic information like your age, sex, and body measurements at the time of the scan
- You don't have a duplicate or very similar scan already in the study database

This study checks if CT scans can measure bone and muscle health as well as standard tests in older adults. If you've had a recent CT scan and simple strength or walking tests, your data may help improve care for seniors.
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) changes over time in people with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to better understand the effects of cancer treatment on the body.
This study compares a simple calf measurement with a body scan (X-ray–based scan) to help diagnose sarcopenia, which means age-related loss of muscle strength. It may help your care team decide on the best way to recognize muscle loss early during hospitalization and follow-up.
This trial tests whether a CT scan of your body composition can predict how well you respond to a supervised exercise program for peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help doctors personalize exercise plans for people with leg pain while walking.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It uses CT or MRI scans you already have planned to see how muscle changes over time. Your samples help researchers understand why muscle loss happens and how to treat it.
This study uses artificial intelligence to take body measurements from photos or other digital tools to estimate body fat and muscle. It may be a good fit if you are a healthy adult under 60 and want to help test a new way of measuring body composition without special equipment.
