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...
Rectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers that arise in the digestive tract. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the impact of visceral fat area (VFA) on postoperative outcomes in mid and low rectal cancer patients und...

The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased significantly worldwide, highlighting a need for accurate noninvasive quantification of body fat distribution in children. The purpose of this study was to develop and test an automated deep learnin...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Computer-aided diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on fully automatic segmentation of abdominal fat tissue using Emission Tomography images. The identification of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VA...
BACKGROUND: There is increasing appreciation of the association of obesity beyond co-morbidities, such as cancers, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and stroke to also impact upon the muscle to give rise to sarcopenic obesity. Phenotypic knowledge of ob...
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...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of changes in body composition during primary treatment on survival outcomes in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Develop a deep learning-based algorithm using the U-Net architecture to measure abdominal fat on computed tomography (CT) images.
