Every staging scan contains a precise measure of muscle mass that nobody looks at. Software could report it automatically and flag patients heading for wasting.
Automated segmentation of skeletal muscle at the third lumbar vertebra is accurate and fast, and low muscle mass predicts chemotherapy toxicity, surgical complications and survival across tumour types. The measurement is free because the scans already exist; the missing pieces are automated reporting into the record and a defined action when the value is low.
