Epicardial adipose tissue is a visceral fat that has remained an entity of concern for decades owing to its high correlation with coronary heart disease. It continues to stump medical practitioners on the pretext of its relevance with pericardial fat...
PURPOSE: To accurately separate water and fat signals for bipolar multi-echo gradient-recalled echo sequence using a convolutional neural network (CNN).
PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of the breast is required for breast density estimation and the assessment of background parenchymal enhancement, both of which have been shown to be related to breast cancer risk. The MRI breast segmentation task is ch...

BACKGROUND: Water-fat separation is a postprocessing technique most commonly applied to multiple-gradient-echo magnetic resonance (MR) images to identify fat, provide images with fat suppression, and to measure fat tissue concentration. Recently, Num...
BACKGROUND: Waist circumference (WC) and z scores of body mass index (BMI) are commonly used to predict childhood obesity, although BMI and WC have a limited sensitivity.
Obesity is increasingly prevalent and associated with increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate method for determination of body fat volume and distribution. How...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a new automatic classification algorithm to identify voxels containing skin, vasculature, adipose, and fibroglandular tissue in dedicated breast CT images.
The objective of this project was to develop a computer vision system (CVS) for objective measurement of pork loin under industry speed requirement. Color images of pork loin samples were acquired using a CVS. Subjective color and marbling scores wer...
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral fat deposit related to coronary artery disease. Fully automated quantification of EAT volume in clinical routine could be a timesaving and reliable tool for cardiovascular risk assessment. We propose a ne...
