NIH grant awarded to research advanced body composition imaging to improve lung transplantation outcomes by developing predictive adipose distribution metrics.
Description
This is a NIH grant opportunity for research on adipose distribution metrics using CT scans to improve lung transplant outcomes. The project involves establishing metrics that predict survival and complications, leveraging existing cohort data, and validating in external cohorts. The project aims to optimize waitlist timing and operative management in lung transplantation.
