Title: | Estimating intramuscular fat content from CT scan images | Contributor(s): | Laurenson, Yan (author); McPhee, Malcolm J (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20864 | Related DOI: | 10.1071/ANv54n12abstracts | Abstract: | Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an important attribute determining meat quality, with higher contents of IMF resulting in the improved palatability of beef. Currently, IMF content is subjectively determined by visual appraisal of intramuscular fat deposits within the longissimus dorsi (i.e. marbling score). Chemical analysis (ether extraction) provides an objective determination of IMF content. However, this method is destructive and incurs significant financial and diuturnal costs. A number of automated image analysis systems for determining tissue composition from CT scan images have previously been proposed (Thompson and Kinghorn 1992; Alston et al. 2005), but as yet none are capable of estimating IMF content. This abstract outlines a framework for the quantification of IMF from CT scan images of deboned beef primal cuts. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | MODNUT 2014: 8th International Workshop on Modelling Nutrient Digestion and Utilisation in Farm Animals, Cairns, Australia, 15th - 17th September, 2014 | Source of Publication: | Extended Abstracts of papers presented at the 8th International Workshop on Modelling Nutrient Digestion and Utilisation in Farm Animals, p. xxix-xxix | Publisher: | CSIRO Publishing | Place of Publication: | Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070299 Animal Production not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300399 Animal production not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 970107 Expanding Knowledge in the Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 280101 Expanding knowledge in the agricultural, food and veterinary sciences | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication | Series Name: | Animal Production Science | Series Number : | Special Issue Volume 54, Number 12 |
