How Analyze was Used
“We used the semiautomated image segmentation software implemented
in the analysis system Analyze 10.0. The software threshold was set between -250 and -50 Hounsfield units, which was the specific range for adipose tissue on CT images. VAT was defined as the intraabdominal fat confined within the rectal sheath. The SPLINE tool was used to demarcate the VAT by drawing a line around the spine and intra-abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, quadratus lumboru, and psoas).”
