LegSegNet is a deep learning system for lower extremity CT tissue segmentation and body composition quantification.

Given an input CT scan, LegSegNet segments four tissue compartments: bone, skeletal muscle, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and inter- and intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT).

The system can further convert predicted masks into quantitative measurements, including tissue area, tissue volume, CT attenuation, and tissue-volume ratios, supporting downstream medical image analysis.

Model Details

  • Task: Lower extremity CT tissue segmentation
  • Input: Lower extremity CT images/volumes
  • Output: Multi-class segmentation mask and body composition measurements
  • Labels: Background, SAT, skeletal muscle, IAT, bone
