Use the slider and mouse wheel to set the H.U.limit to positive 150 Next, click on the green two to set the H.U.limits for I.M.A.T.and set the lower and upper limits the same way but setting the lower limit to negative 190 and the upper limit to negative 30. Next, click on the off button next to the upper limit to set it to on. Then use the mouse wheel to set it exactly to negative 29. Adjust the limit with the slider to be as close to negative 29 as possible. Then click on the off button next to the lower limit. Click on the red one under region growing to set the H.U.limits for muscle. This feature will be used in subsequent steps. Go to modes, region growing to begin segmentation.

Once the program has loaded, drag the DICOM image anywhere into the sliceOmatic screen. Double-click on the DICOM file to open up sliceOmatic. Then select the location the image should be saved to. Export the 元 image by navigating to the exam menu, select export images, selected images.Įnsure the format is DICOM. Be sure to use the sagittal or coronal view for reference to locate the center of the 元 vertebrae. The L1 is the first vertebrae to not have a rib attachment.Ĭount from the L1 down to the 元 vertebrae. Next, scroll through the axial view images to find the L1 vertebrae. Select the axial view on the right screen by navigating to series, then selecting the axial images.Ĭlick on conn, cross-reference to link the two images, then scroll through the images on the coronal or sagittal view to ensure the spine vertebrae are easily visible.

Select the coronal or sagittal view on the left screen by navigating to series then selecting the coronal or sagittal images. Open the patient's CT or MRI images done within the timeframe of interest. Be aware that if using a different software, the tools may vary. The selection of the 元 vertebrae protocol is completed within GE centricity.

The following procedures provide protocol and segmented vertical in the sliceOmatic software as well as your measurement protocols for composition analysis in CT and MRI images. Composition analysis of the third lumbar region is of interest as it provides quantitative characterization of skeletal muscle and within CT scans provides qualitative information of adipose tissue. Ribbon muscle degeneration on a sarcopenia has been shown to be a prognostic factor for cancer survival and treatment success.
