Deep learning models automate CT body composition analysis for cancer patients

Researchers have developed deep learning models to automate the analysis of body composition from CT scans for colorectal cancer patients. Four architectures, including GoogLeNet and AlexNet, were trained to predict skeletal muscle area (SMA), skeletal muscle density (SMD), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and visceral fat area (VFA). GoogLeNet achieved a mean percentage error of 4.96% for SMA, and AlexNet achieved 8.12% for SMD, demonstrating the potential to streamline clinical workflows by reducing manual segmentation time and expertise.
