BACKGROUND: Previous studies evaluating the prognostic value of computed tomography (CT)-derived body composition data have included few patients. Thus, we assessed the prevalence and prognostic value of sarcopenic obesity in a large population of ga...
Body composition measures derived from already available electronic medical records (computed tomography [CT] scans) can have significant value, but automation of measurements is needed for clinical implementation. We sought to use artificial intelli...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Body composition analysis on CT images is a valuable tool for sarcopenia assessment. We aimed to develop and validate a deep neural network applicable to whole-body CT images of PET-CT scan for the automatic volumetric segmentation...
The analysis of human body composition plays a critical role in health management and disease prevention. However, current medical technologies to accurately assess body composition such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography, and m...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of changes in body composition during primary treatment on survival outcomes in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
Body composition analysis (BCA) generates objective anthropometric data that can inform prognostication and treatment decisions across a wide variety of urologic conditions. A patient's body composition, specifically muscle and adipose tissue mass, m...
Cardiometabolic diseases are an increasing global health burden. While socioeconomic, environmental, behavioural, and genetic risk factors have been identified, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms is required to develop more effective...
OBJECTIVES: Body tissue composition is a long-known biomarker with high diagnostic and prognostic value not only in cardiovascular, oncological, and orthopedic diseases but also in rehabilitation medicine or drug dosage. In this study, the aim was to...
BACKGROUND: Body composition is associated with survival outcome in oncological patients, but it is not routinely calculated. Manual segmentation of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and muscle is time-consuming and therefore limited to a single CT s...
