Popis: This paper offers a brief overview of common non-invasive techniques for body composition assessment methods, and of the way images extracted by these methods can be processed with artificial intelligence (AI) and radiomic analysis. These new techniques are becoming more and more appealing in the field of health care, thanks to their ability to treat and process a huge amount of data, suggest new correlations between extracted imaging biomarkers and traits of several diseases as well as lead to the possibility to realise an increasingly personalized medicine. The idea is to suggest the use of AI applications and radiomic analysis to search for features that may be extracted from medical images [computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)], and that may turn out to be good predictors of metabolic disorder diseases and cancer. This could lead to patient-specific treatments and management of several diseases linked with excessive body fat.
