An Automatic deep learning semantic segmentation (ADLS) using DeepLab-v3-plus technique is proposed for a full and accurate whole heart Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) segmentation from non-contrast cardiac CT scan. The ADLS algorithm was trained on ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Lean muscle and fat mass in the human body are important indicators of the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) accurately measure body composition, but they are c...
To develop a fully automatic model capable of reliably quantifying epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volumes and attenuation in large scale population studies to investigate their relation to markers of cardiometabolic risk. Non-contrast cardiac CT ima...
Quantitative methods for assessing differentiative potency of adipose-derived stem/stromal cells may lead to improved clinical application of this multipotent stem cell, by advancing our understanding of specific processes such as adipogenic differen...
The spread of early-stage (T1 and T2) adenocarcinomas to locoregional lymph nodes is a key event in disease progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The cellular mechanisms behind this event are not completely understood and existing predictive biomar...
Obesity, associated with having excess body fat, is a critical public health problem that can cause serious diseases. Although a range of techniques for body fat estimation have been developed to assess obesity, these typically involve high-cost test...
The key factors playing a role in the pathogenesis of metabolic alterations observed in many patients with obesity have not been fully characterized. Their identification is crucial, and it would represent a fundamental step towards better management...
Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EAT) has been linked to coronary artery disease and the risk of major adverse cardiac events. As manual quantification of EAT is time-consuming, requires specialized training, and is prone to human error, we develope...
Background: To develop a deep-learning (DL) pipeline that allowed an automated segmentation of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) from low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and investigate the link between EAT and COVID-19 clinical outcomes. Methods: This...
