BACKGROUND: The relationship between physical function, musculoskeletal disorders and sarcopenia is intricate. Current physical function tests, such as the gait speed test and the chair stand test, have limitations in eliminating subjective influence...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prognostic value of CT-based markers of sarcopenia and myosteatosis in comparison to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score for survival of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer treated with high-intensity ...
INTRODUCTION: Physical fitness is regarded as a significant indicator of sarcopenia. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep-learning model for predicting the decline in physical fitness due to sarcopenia in individuals with potential sarcope...
IMPORTANCE: Sarcopenia is an established prognostic factor in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); the quantification of sarcopenia assessed by imaging is typically achieved through the skeletal muscle index (SMI), which can b...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive skeletal muscle disorder involving the loss of muscle mass or strength and physiological function. Efficient and precise AI algorithms may play a significant role in the diagnosis of sarcopenia. In...

BACKGROUND: Early detection and management of sarcopenia is of clinical importance. We aimed to develop a chest X-ray-based deep learning model to predict presence of sarcopenia.
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia increases with age and is associated with poor survival outcomes in patients with cancer. By using a deep learning-based segmentation approach, clinical computed tomography (CT) images of the abdomen of patients with newly diag...
