Age- and sex-adjusted CT-based reference values for temporal muscle thickness, cross-sectional area and radiodensity

Age- and sex-adjusted CT-based reference values for temporal muscle thickness, cross-sectional area and radiodensity

Abstract Muscle mass has been traditionally assessed by measuring paraspinal muscle areas at the level of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography (CT). Neurological or neurosurgical patients seldom undergo CT scans of the lumbar region. Instead, temporal muscle thickness (TMT), cross-sectio...
