ECR: The scan you've already done: Body composition's missing picture
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
The argument for body composition in radiology is not about acquiring new data, but about reading what's already there. At ECR 2026, two sessions made the case that every CT scan already holds information that could change a patient's prognosis. Most of it is never reported.
