Automated MRI body composition analysis sees rare clinical use due to limited access and unproven reproducibility.
Despite the growing use of MRI for body composition analysis, the adoption of highly automated analysis methods in clinical studies remains low, highlighting a need for more accessible and validated automated tools.

May delay clinical adoption of automated MRI body composition analysis; leaves open needs for accessible, validated tools.
Magnus Borga (2018) conducted a review in Adipose tissue and muscle composition analysis. Automated and semi-automated MRI analysis techniques was evaluated. Very few clinical studies have used highly automated MRI analysis methods for body composition, likely due to limited availability for non-imaging experts and a lack of reproducibility studies.
