PURPOSE: Chemotherapy dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) pose a significant challenge in successful colon cancer treatment. Body composition analysis may enable tailored interventions thereby supporting the mitigation of chemotherapy toxic effects. This ...
OBJECTIVE: The prognostic significance of body composition phenotypes for survival in patients undergoing surgical intervention for spinal metastases has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of body composition phenotypes...
This study aimed to address the limitations of conventional methods for measuring skeletal muscle mass for sarcopenia diagnosis by introducing an artificial intelligence (AI) system for direct computed tomography (CT) analysis. The primary focus was ...
CT-based abdominal body composition measures have shown associations with important health outcomes. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) now allow deployment of tools that measure body composition in large patient populations. The purpose of t...
The maintenance of an appropriate ratio of body fat to muscle mass is essential for the preservation of health and performance, as excessive body fat is associated with an increased risk of various diseases. Accurate body composition assessment requi...

BACKGROUND: Prekidney transplant evaluation routinely includes abdominal CT for presurgical vascular assessment. A wealth of body composition data are available from these CT examinations, but they remain an underused source of data, often missing fr...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Low muscle mass (LMM) is a critical complication in patients with obesity and diabetes, exacerbating metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Novel obesity indices, such as the body roundness index (BRI), conicity index, and relative ...
: Cancer and related treatments can impair body composition (BC), increasing the risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, poor prognosis, and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). To enhance BC parameter interpretation through Bioelectrical Impedance A...
Sarcopenia and body composition metrics are strongly associated with patient outcomes. In this study, we developed and validated a flexible, open-access pipeline integrating available deep learning-based segmentation models with pre- and postprocessi...

PURPOSE: Chemotherapy administration is a balancing act between giving enough to achieve the desired tumour response while limiting adverse effects. Chemotherapy dosing is based on body surface area (BSA). Emerging evidence suggests body composition ...
