Cardiovascular disease progression is characterised by the dysregulation of lipid metabolism and pro-atherogenic effects of adipose tissue signalling. Recent findings from the analysis of transcriptomic data in bulk tissue has enabled these insights ...
Inflammation plays important roles in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. We here show the involvement of perivascular inflammation in aortic dilatation of Marfan syndrome (MFS). In the aorta of patients with MFS and Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, macrophages...
Accurately segmenting the pancreas from abdominal computed tomography (CT) images is crucial for detecting and managing pancreatic diseases, such as diabetes and tumors. Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with pancreatic fat accumu...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its spatial distribution and structural alterations remain understudied. We aim to develop a shape-aware, AI-based method for automated ...
Fat and muscle mass are potential biomarkers of wellbeing and disease in oncology, but clinical measurement methods vary considerably. Here we evaluate the accuracy, precision and ability to track change for multiple deep learning (DL) models that qu...
Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Accurate automatic segmentation of the EAT around the Left Atrium (LA) from Magnetic ...
BACKGROUND: Aging alters musculoskeletal structure and function, affecting muscle mass, composition, and strength, increasing the risk of falls and loss of independence in older adults. This study assessed cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat infiltrat...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue represents a metabolically active visceral fat depot that is in direct contact with the left ventricular myocardium. While it is associated with coronary artery disease, little is known regarding its role in aort...
BACKGROUNDObesity, a growing health concern, often leads to metabolic disturbances, systemic inflammation, and vascular dysfunction. Emerging evidence suggests that adipose tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (adiposomes) may propagate obesity-rela...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Fully automated, artificial intelligence (AI) -based software has recently become available for scalable body composition analysis. Prior to broad application in the clinical arena, validation studies are needed. Our goal wa...
