Computed tomography (CT) assessment of muscle mass and myosteatosis lacks standardization across studies, with significant variation in anatomic landmarks, thresholding values, and reporting of technical parameters like contrast use and slice thickness.

When interpreting or conducting CT-based muscle assessments, ensure strict adherence to standardized protocols regarding anatomic landmarks (e.g., L3), thresholding values, and reporting of technical parameters (contrast, slice thickness). Lack of standardization currently limits the ability to compare results across studies or clinics.
