Total Small Bowel Length Measurement Using Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Obese Patients
Sponsor: University of Roma La Sapienza
Summary
The aim of the study is to set up and validate a reliable and reproducible automated method using preoperative radiological imaging to measure the TSBL in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric/metabolic surgery.
Official title: Set up and Validation of Total Small Bowel Length Measurement Using Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging With 3D Reconstruction and Artificial Intelligence Tool in Obese Patients Candidates to Metabolic Surgery

Measurement of the total small bowel length using CT scan and MRI with 3D reconstruction and AI tool
The intervention consists in performing CT and MR imaging with small bowel length measurement before bariatric/metabolic surgery in obese patients. Then, during surgery the patients will undergo laparoscopic stretched small bowel measurement as the reference gold standard method to measure the small bowel length. The imaging of the training cohort will be used to trained an AI to set up an automatic method of small bowel length measurement via the analysis of CT and MRI imaging.
