BACKGROUND: Recent studies in the field of lung cancer have emphasized the important role of body composition, particularly fatty tissue, as a prognostic factor. However, there is still a lack of practice in combining fatty tissue to discriminate ben...
BACKGROUND: Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the orbital adipose tissue, primarily causing oxidative stress injury and tissue remodeling in the orbital connective tissue. Ferroptosis is a form of programm...
OBJECTIVES: This study expolored the relationship between perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) radiomic features derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and the presence of coronary artery plaques. It aimed to determine whether PVA...
BACKGROUND: Accurate and automatic segmentation of pericardial adipose tissue (PEAT) in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Precise segmentation is challenging due to high co...
OBJECTIVE: To estimate proton density fat fraction (PDFF) from chemical shift encoded (CSE) MR images using a deep learning (DL)-based method that is precise and robust to different MR scanners and acquisition echo times (TEs).
