Body Composition Assessment with Limited Field-of-view Computed Tomography: A Semantic Image Extension Perspective. Medical Image Analysis
Aug. 31, 2023—Kaiwen Xu, Thomas Li, Mirza S. Khan, Riqiang Gao, Sanja L. Antic, Yuankai Huo, Kim L. Sandler, Fabien Maldonado, Bennett A. Landman Paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1361841523001123 Code: https://github.com/MASILab/S-EFOV Abstract Field-of-view (FOV) tissue truncation beyond the lungs is common in routine lung screening computed tomography (CT). This poses limitations for opportunistic CT-based body composition (BC) assessment as key anatomical structures...
