Automated segmentation of human cervical-supraclavicular adipose tissue in magnetic resonance images

Abstract Human brown adipose tissue (BAT), with a major site in the cervical-supraclavicular depot, is a promising anti-obesity target. This work presents an automated method for segmenting cervical-supraclavicular adipose tissue for enabling time-efficient and objective measurements in large cohort...
