Figure 2.

Selective representative computed tomography (CT) images with tag overlay and corresponding tissue mass vs. time graphs from individual patients in each cachexia phenotype at the L3 level. (A) No changes in any tissue mass can be visual appreciated on serial CT scans for the No Wasting phenotype. Graphing tissue masses vs. time shows that there is an initial increase in total adipose and visceral adipose mass with return to starting values at the end of the study. (B) Decreases in subcutaneous adipose and visceral adipose can be visually appreciated on serial CT scans in the Fat‐Only Wasting phenotype. Graphic representation of this patient shows trends towards decreased subcutaneous, visceral, and total adipose mass by the end of the study. Statistical analysis would confirm these changes to be significant (≥5%). (C) Significant decrease in skeletal muscle, subcutaneous, and visceral adipose tissue can be visually appreciated on serial CT scans in the Muscle and Fat Wasting phenotype. Graphic representation of tissue mass vs. time shows trends towards decreases in all tissues. Statistically analysis would confirm this patient to have significant losses in skeletal muscle, subcutaneous, visceral, and total adipose masses (≥5%).
