Large-scale analysis of iliopsoas muscle volumes in the UK Biobank
J. A. Fitzpatrick, N. Basty, et al.
This study introduces a groundbreaking fully automated method for measuring iliopsoas muscle volume via a convolutional neural network applied to MRI data from 5000 UK Biobank participants. The impressive model achieved an average Dice score coefficient of 0.9046, indicating a strong relationship between iliopsoas volume and factors like height, BMI, and age, particularly in older men. Conducted by Julie A. Fitzpatrick and colleagues, this research offers a reliable technique for analyzing muscle volume in large populations.
