BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a vital diagnostic tool, especially in patients with cardiometabolic syndrome. Low-dose CT scans are routinely performed with PET f...
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a risk factor for diverticulitis. However, it remains unclear whether visceral fat area, a more precise measurement of abdominal fat, is associated with the risk of diverticulitis.

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 ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of expected survival in melanoma patients is crucial for treatment decisions. This study explores deep learning-based body composition analysis to predict overall survival (OS) using baseline Computed Tomography (CT) s...
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition, influenced by inflammation, is associated with muscle depletion and body composition changes. This study aimed to evaluate muscle mass and quality using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced ultrasonography in patients with ...

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...
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...
OBJECTIVES: Body composition assessment using CT images at the L3-level is increasingly applied in cancer research and has been shown to be strongly associated with long-term survival. Robust high-throughput automated segmentation is key to assess la...
Ageing is a heterogeneous multisystem process involving different rates of decline in physiological integrity across biological systems. The current study dissects the unique and common variance across body and brain health indicators and parses inte...
PURPOSE: Body composition (BC) may play a role in outcome prognostication in patients with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEAC). Artificial intelligence provides new possibilities to opportunistically quantify BC from computed tomography (CT) scans...
