BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...
Fat and muscle mass are potential biomarkers of wellbeing and disease in oncology, but clinical measurement methods vary considerably. Here we evaluate the accuracy, precision and ability to track change for multiple deep learning (DL) models that qu...

OBJECTIVE: Using 2005-2018 NHANES data, this study examined the association between the visceral fat metabolism score (METS-VF) and heart failure (HF) prevalence in U.S. adults, leveraging machine learning (LightGBM/XGBoost) and SHAP for classficatio...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Fully automated, artificial intelligence (AI) -based software has recently become available for scalable body composition analysis. Prior to broad application in the clinical arena, validation studies are needed. Our goal wa...
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/OBJECTIVES: The clinical utility of body composition in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) remains unclear. We aimed to measure body composition using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict severe AP in hospitalized patien...
OBJECTIVES: This study proposes a multimodal deep learning (DL) approach to investigate the impact of tumors and visceral fat on occult peritoneal metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

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.
