Applicability of the CT Radiomics of Skeletal Muscle and Machine Learning for the Detection of Sarcopenia and Prognostic Assessment of Disease Progression in Patients with Gastric and Esophageal Tumors.

In the present study, the CT radiomics of skeletal muscle together with machine learning correlated with the presence of sarcopenia, and this can additionally assist in predicting disease progression. These features can be classified as promising alternatives to conventional methods, with great potential for further research and future clinical application. However, when sarcopenia was diagnosed with PMI, no significant correlation between sarcopenia and PD could be observed.
