ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome are closely linked with visceral body composition, but clinical assessment is limited to external measurements and laboratory values including hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Modern deep learning and AI algorithms allow automated extraction of biomarkers for organ size, density, and body composition from routine computed tomography (CT) exams. Comparing visceral CT biomarkers across groups with differing glycemic control revealed significant, progressive CT biomarker changes with increasing HbA1c. For example, in the unenhanced female cohort, mean changes between normal and poorly-controlled diabetes showed 53% increase in visceral adipose tissue area, 22% increase in kidney volume, 24% increase in liver volume, 6% decrease in liver density (hepatic steatosis), 16% increase in skeletal muscle area, and 21% decrease in skeletal muscle density (myosteatosis) (all p < 0.001). The multisystem changes of metabolic syndrome can be objectively and retrospectively measured using automated CT biomarkers, with implications for diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and GLP-1 agonists.
