摘要：

Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) has been used to measure body composition, however, a technique with reduced radiation exposure has not yet been introduced. This study tested a low-dose spiral CT technique on a phantom to determine its validity and reproducibility. The method was then applied for volume and distribution measurements in patients.
