摘要
Abstract In order to effectively segment the visceral adipose tissue and help the doctors to rapidly diagnose the potential risks of metabolic syndrome, here we developed a deep learning-based method which is based on the U-net architecture for segmenting and measuring the visceral adipose tissue(VAT). And even no matter which orientation that the operator takes, the model can segment the visceral fat area and then use the appropriate outputs to compute the max thickness of VAT. One hundred and fourteen healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Ultrasound(US) was performed, and then the visceral adipose tissue was segmented and measured by the model that we use. We regard the distance behind the linea alba in the xiphoid process as the thickest visceral adipose tissue(VAT max). The dice score and accuracy are 3.46%, 96.44% respectively. In addition, compared with the manually outlined segmentation, the pearson correlation coefficient and the mean relative error (MRE) are R=0.9231 (P<0.001) and 10.12% in the measurement of the VAT max between original and output images. The auto-segmentation and measurement of visceral adipose tissue on ultrasound method demonstrate the accuracy of deep learning in segmentation and measurement of visceral adipose tissue.
