MRI adipose tissue and muscle composition analysis-a review of automation techniques.
TL;DR: It is found that very few clinical studies have used highly automated analysis methods, despite the rapidly increasing use of MRI for body composition analysis, between 2013 and 2017.

Analysis of micro-structural damage evolution of concrete through coupled X-ray computed tomography and gray-level co-occurrence matrices method
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled method based on statistical method and X-ray CT to extract indicators of subtle changes in gray value changes in the original number matrix of CT image is proposed.

Statistical methods for assessing agreement between two methods of clinical measurement.
TL;DR: An alternative approach, based on graphical techniques and simple calculations, is described, together with the relation between this analysis and the assessment of repeatability.

Abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome
TL;DR: This work has shown that abdominal obesity — the most prevalent manifestation of metabolic syndrome — is a marker of 'dysfunctional adipose tissue', and is of central importance in clinical diagnosis.

Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue : Their relation to the metabolic syndrome
TL;DR: Methods for assessment of several phenotypes of human obesity, with special reference to abdominal fat content, have been evaluated and the endocrine regulation of abdominal visceral fat in comparison with the adipose tissue localized in other areas is presented.
