The Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) surrounding the coronary arteries, a sensitive biomarker for coronary inflammation, can be measured through standard Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences...
Animals can provide meaningful context for human single-cell data. To transfer information between species, we propose a deep learning approach that pre-trains a conditional variational autoencoder on animal data and transfers its final encoder layer...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between anatomical and metabolic characteristics of large arterial perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and hypertensive clinical outcomes using positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/C...
PURPOSE: The study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for preoperative APF using computed tomography (CT) radiomics combined with deep learning, and validating the performance of the model in an independent cohort.
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue is gaining increasing interest as a cardiometabolic imaging biomarker, but its exact role in coronary artery disease is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between epicardial ad...
BACKGROUND: Obesity has emerged as a major global public health challenge and poses a significant threat to human health. Despite extensive research, the mechanisms underlying its pathological progression remain elusive.
Rapid and accurate quantitative assessment of muscle tissue characteristics is valuable for the diagnosis and monitoring of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables non-invasive assessment of muscle patholo...
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease remains the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Traditional risk models are limited in predictive accuracy. Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT), a novel i...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the unique anatomy and pathophysiology of pericardial fat (including both epicardial adipose tissue [EAT] and paracardial fat), its clinical significance, and its potential role as a therapeutic target. It addr...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and ectopic fat imaging. It aims to evaluate how AI may be used to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of cardiovascular disease (CVD) r...
