OBJECTIVE: To develop a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically segment an axial CT image of the pelvis for body composition measures. We hypothesized that a deep CNN approach would achieve high accuracy when compared to manual segme...
This study intends to evaluate the utilization potential of the combined Raman spectroscopy and machine learning approach to quickly identify the rainbow trout adulteration in Atlantic salmon. The adulterated samples contained various concentrations ...
Muscle fat infiltration (MFI) of the deep cervical spine extensors has been observed in cervical spine conditions using time-consuming and rater-dependent manual techniques. Deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) models have demonstrated st...
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...
