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...
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...
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a computer tool for automatic and simultaneous segmentation of five body tissues depicted on computed tomography (CT) scans: visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), intermuscular adipose tiss...
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...

PURPOSE: Fully automated abdominal adipose tissue segmentation from computed tomography (CT) scans plays an important role in biomedical diagnoses and prognoses. However, to identify and segment subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose ...
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.
