Body Mass Index (BMI)
Mass (weight - Kg) /
height (cm) x height (cm)
You are “Normal” if your BMI is
between 18.5 and 24.99
Adolphe Quetelet, 1832
27. 27
Practice Pearls:
• BMI - Body mass
index is a strong and
independent risk factor
for being diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes
mellitus
• Type 2 diabetes risk
may be incrementally
higher in those with a
higher body mass index
• Understanding the risk
factors helps to shorten
the time to diagnosis
and treatment
How precise could be a “simple” signal

The Medical Sieve § Build a fast anomaly detection
engine
–Quickly filters irrelevant images
–Highlights disease-depicting regions
–Flags coincidental diagnosis
§ Intended as a radiology assistant
–Clinicians still do the diagnosis
–Machine reduces workload
–Machine performs triage/decision support
Given history of the patient and images of
a study
Is there an anomalous image here?
If so, where is the anomaly ?
Describe the anomaly
