What's the difference between the DAFS Express and DAFS?

DAFS Express is specialized to single-slice body composition following the Alberta Protocol with the standard thresholds, and enables fast slice-selection (any axial slice anywhere in the body can be segmented) and batch-segmentation to derive skeletal muscle, visceral, subcutaneous and intramuscular fat depots from CT scans. DAFS Express was designed with busy clinicians in mind to make it very easy and fast to go from a cohort of CT scans to body composition measurements collected in a .csv file or individual patient pdf reports.


DAFS, on the other hand, is a comprehensive 3D anatomical segmentation platform providing measurements of multiple organs and tissues enabling multiorgan/multitissue analysis. It is armed with our most cutting-edged technologies and is our most feature-rich software. DAFS can do everything DAFS Express can do for CT imaging and a whole lot more. It can also automatically landmark DICOM slices as vertebral levels. Furthermore, DAFS also enables analysis of PET scans via the overlay of segmentations from the corresponding CT scan, to derive organ and tissue specific tracer uptake that can help incorporate metabolism (FDG-PET) and lesion burden (PSMA-PET) in addition to volume and radiodensity of organs and tissues.
