No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall objective is to evaluate the validity of bedside US of QMLT and MF-BIA by comparing measurements from US and MF-BIA to those estimates of lean body mass obtained from CT Scan of abdomen when done for clinical reasons.

The investigators expect to observe a high degree of correlation between these 3 baseline measures and the changes in US measures and MF-BIA over time to correlate with changes to CT Scan measures of lean body mass.
