OBJECTIVES: To validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm for measurement of skeletal muscular index (SMI) and prediction of overall survival in oncology populations.
AIM: To develop a fully automated deep-learning-based approach to measure muscle area for assessing sarcopenia on standard-of-care computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen without any case exclusion criteria, for opportunistic screening for frailty.
We aim to evaluate the performance of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in predicting the presence or absence of sarcopenia using shear-wave elastography (SWE) and gray-scale ultrasonography (GSU) of rectus femoris muscle as an imaging bioma...

Skeletal muscle area (SMA), representing skeletal muscle cross-sectional area at the L3 vertebral level, and skeletal muscle index (SMI), representing height-normalized SMA, can serve as markers of sarcopenia. Normal SMA and SMI values have been rep...
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumour. Sarcopenia is associated with worse cancer survival, but manually quantifying muscle on imaging is time-consuming. We present a deep learning-based system for quantification of tempora...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenic dysphagia, a swallowing disorder caused by sarcopenia, is prevalent in older patients and can cause malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia. This study aimed to develop a simple screening test using image recognition with a low r...

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is defined as muscle wasting, characterized by a progressive loss of muscle mass and function due to ageing. Diagnosis of sarcopenia typically involves both muscle imaging and the physical performance of people exhibiting signs...
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...

Sarcopenia is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. CT-based skeletal muscle measurements for sarcopenia assessment are most commonly performed at the L3 vertebral level. The purpose of this article is to compare the utility of fully automated...
