However, longitudinal analysis of body composition changes using these scans is difficult due to positional variation between slices acquired in different years, which leads to different organs\/tissues being captured.ApproachTo address this issue, we propose C-SliceGen, which takes an arbitrary axial slice in the abdominal region as a condition and generates a pre-defined vertebral level slice by estimating structural changes in the latent space.ResultsOur experiments on 2608 volumetric CT data from two in-house datasets and 50 subjects from the 2015 Multi-Atlas Abdomen Labeling Challenge Beyond the Cranial Vault (BTCV) dataset demonstrate that our model can generate high-quality images that are realistic and similar. We further evaluate our method\u2019s capability to harmonize longitudinal positional variation on 1033 subjects from the Baltimore longitudinal study of aging dataset, which contains longitudinal single abdominal slices, and confirmed that our method can harmonize the slice positional variance in terms of visceral fat area.ConclusionThis approach provides a promising direction for mapping slices from different vertebral levels to a target slice and reducing positional variance for single-slice longitudinal analysis.
