Whole body automated CT segmentation and extraction of whole body organ/tissue/tumor measurements from CT and PET using the DAFS platform is likely going to enable such imaging biomarkers to become feasible for individual assessment in precision medicine.

Body composition scores reflecting the quantity and quality of skeletal muscle were strongly correlated with patient frailty and associated with 30-day readmission and postop mortality and morbidity. https://t.co/RYxbgQrzLT

#CGH4ALL Can changes in body composition predict pancreatic adenoCa?

@AGA_CGH's #Pancreaticobiliary section assesses CT & 🧪biomarkers up to 36 months before diagnosis in 1690 pts!

👍CT assessments = fully automated abdominal segmentation algorithm

@BarbaraLT94 @EP_HSMarta @HSMarta_Cardio Great work!

Tracing the fibrous pericardium manually is tedious though.

DAFS @VoronoiHealth platform automates segmentation and measurement of epicardial, paracardial, visceral, subcutaneous, intramuscular fats, aorta and aortic calcification on-premise.
