This article outlines the methods and applications of threshold-based techniques to assess in vivo muscle and bone tissue distribution in normal and pathological conditions using computed tomography imaging. The approaches described here use medical imaging processing techniques and computational methods to study bone mechanical proprieties, analyze and quantify muscle morphology, visualize changes with 3-D models, develop subject-specific numerical profiles, and assess muscle and bone changes during clinical treatments.
