Measurement of muscle composition on an axial image of computed tomography. Total muscle cross-sectional area (TM) of the glutei medius and minimus or the upper portion of the gluteus maximus is segmented using the threshold of − 29 to 150 Hounsfield units (HU). Lean muscle mass (LMM), low-density lean tissue (LDL), and intramuscular fat (mFAT) are colored as the pixels with the density of 30 to 80 HU, 0 to 29 HU, and − 190 to − 30 HU, respectively, within each segmented TM
