The evaluation of epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with Behçet’s disease [PDF]
Background/Aim. Epidemiological studies indicate that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common in almost all patients diagnosed with autoimmune disease. This study aimed to examine whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness (EATT) and carotid intima-

Automated recognition of the pericardium contour on processed CT images using genetic algorithms [PDF]
This work proposes the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) in tracing and recognizing the pericardium contour of the human heart using Computed Tomography (CT) images. We assume that each slice of the pericardium can be modelled by an ellipse, the parameters of which need to be optimally determined.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Segmentation from CT Images with A Semi-3D Neural Network [PDF]
Epicardial adipose tissue is a type of adipose tissue located between the heart wall and a protective layer around the heart called the pericardium. The volume and thickness of epicardial adipose tissue are linked to various cardiovascular diseases. It is shown to be an independent cardiovascular disease risk factor.

Case Report: A Young Man With Giant Pericardial Synovial Sarcoma
Pericardial synovial sarcomas are sporadic tumors. Herein, we report a case of primary pericardial synovial sarcoma originating from the right pericardium. Missed diagnosis delayed surgical treatment.
