Chiu C, Zhang P, Lin J, Chang A, Ross B, Enchakalody B, et al.
J Thorac Dis . 2025 Feb; 17(1):209-219. PMID: 39975738
Background: Esophagectomy following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is a curative treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer. However, pulmonary complications are the most common postoperative issues and can adversely affect survival. While...

Derstine B, Holcombe S, Wang N, Ross B, Sullivan J, Wang S, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Sep; 14(1):21799. PMID: 39294201
Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Computed tomography (CT) assessments of sarcopenia utilize measurements of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (SMA), radiation attenuation (SMRA), and intramuscular...

Holcombe S, Horbal S, Ross B, Brown E, Derstine B, Wang S
PLoS One . 2022 Nov; 17(11):e0277111. PMID: 36355794
Background: CT contrast media improves vessel visualization but can also confound calcification measurements. We evaluated variance in aorta attenuation from varied contrast-enhancement scans, and quantified expected plaque detection errors when...
4.
Derstine B, Holcombe S, Ross B, Wang N, Wang S, Su G
Sci Rep . 2022 Feb; 12(1):2374. PMID: 35149727
Measurements of visceral adipose tissue cross-sectional area and radiation attenuation from computed tomography (CT) scans provide useful information about risk and mortality. However, scan protocols vary, encompassing differing vertebra levels...
5.
Horbal S, Brown E, Derstine B, Zhang P, Bidulescu A, Sullivan J, et al.
Clin Imaging . 2021 Dec; 83:51-55. PMID: 34954502
Background: Aortic wall calcification shows strong promise as a cardiovascular risk factor. While useful for visual enhancement of vascular tissue, enhancement creates heterogeneity between scans with and without contrast. We...
6.
Derstine B, Holcombe S, Ross B, Wang N, Su G, Wang S
Sci Rep . 2021 Jan; 11(1):279. PMID: 33431971
Measurements of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (SMA) at the level of the third lumbar (L3) vertebra derived from clinical computed tomography (CT) scans are commonly used in assessments of sarcopenia,...
7.
Horbal S, Rossman A, Brown E, Shah N, Ross B, Bidulescu A, et al.
Clin Imaging . 2020 May; 66:57-63. PMID: 32450484
Background: Screening of cardiovascular risk is essential in preventing cardiac events and quantifying asymptomatic risk. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores are a well-established in predicting cardiovascular risk, but require specialized...

Chiu C, Zhang P, Chang A, Derstine B, Ross B, Enchakalody B, et al.
Ann Thorac Surg . 2019 Sep; 109(1):241-248. PMID: 31550463
Background: In patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), patients with a pathologic complete response (pCR) have the greatest benefit. The...

Eliason J, Derstine B, Horbal S, Wang N, Holcombe S, Chiu C, et al.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg . 2019 Jun; 87(1S Suppl 1):S138-S145. PMID: 31246918
Background: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a valuable resuscitative adjunct in a variety of clinical settings. In resource-limited or emergency environments, REBOA may be required with...

Derstine B, Holcombe S, Ross B, Wang N, Su G, Wang S
Sci Rep . 2018 Jul; 8(1):11369. PMID: 30054580
Measurements of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area, index, and radiation attenuation utilizing clinical computed tomography (CT) scans are used in assessments of sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function...
