Significant variability exists in the contrast phases applied during computed tomography (CT) studies when assessing morphometric measurements of muscle area (CT-assessed sarcopenia) and density (CT-assessed myosteatosis) and visceral adipose tissue area (CT-assessed visceral obesity). This study explored the impact of contrast phase timing on changes in morphometric measurements of body composition.
