Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for measuring muscle mass, including: a first selection step, wherein a frame selection information is obtained by using a frame to select a fascia region from a provided computed tomography image under the condition that the window width ranges from 300 HU to 500 HU and the window level ranges from 40 HU to 50 HU, wherein the selected range of the fascia region includes a muscle; and a second selection step, wherein a muscle information of the muscle is obtained by calculating a pixel value in the frame-selected fascia region under the condition that the HU value of the CT image ranges from −29 HU to 150 HU.
