This study analysed the effects of visceral fat on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and developed an algorithm to predict its onset using health examination data from the Iwaki Health Promotion Project in Japan. The dataset included 213 cases of MetS onset ...
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...

BACKGROUND&AIMS: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is aggressive with limited treatment and poor prognosis. Preoperative nutritional status assessment is crucial for predicting outcomes in patients. This study aimed to compare the predictive cap...
AIM/INTRODUCTION: We assess the efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based, fully automated, volumetric body composition metrics in predicting the risk of diabetes.
Body composition assessment is very useful for evaluating a patient's status in the clinic, but recognizing, labeling, and calculating the body compositions would be burdensome. This study aims to develop a web-based service that could automate calcu...
The excessive accumulation and malfunctioning of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a major determinant of increased risk of obesity-related comorbidities. Thus, risk stratification of people living with obesity according to their amount of VAT is of c...

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of our own artificial intelligence (AI)-generated model to assess automated segmentation and quantification of body composition-derived computed tomography (CT) slices from the lumber (L3) regio...
This study investigates the application of cavitation in non-invasive abdominal fat reduction and body contouring, a topic of considerable interest in the medical and aesthetic fields. We explore the potential of cavitation to alter abdominal fat com...
OBJECTIVE: Increased subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT/VAT) volume is associated with risk for cardiometabolic diseases. This work aimed to develop and evaluate automated abdominal SAT/VAT segmentation on longitudinal MRI in adults with o...
