  We study isomorphic properties of two generalizations of intersection bodies,
the class of k-intersection bodies and the class of generalized k-intersection
bodies. We also show that the Banach-Mazur distance of the k-intersection body
of a convex body, when it exists and it is convex, with the Euclidean ball, is
bounded by a constant depending only on k, generalizing a well-known result of
Hensley and Borell. We conclude by giving some volumetric estimates for
k-intersection bodies.
