The renowned German radiology researcher Prof. Dr. Thomas J. Vogl has put on a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker hat and tweed scarf to star in a new video about a spoof murder that takes place on the banks of the Main River in Frankfurt.
In the "Tatort Radiology" episode, Vogl investigates what is believed to be his hardest case to date, which requires forensic-radiological skills and teamwork to solve the problem. He is joined by German actor Joe Bausch.

Tatort (meaning crime scene) is a German-language police television series that has been running continuously since 1970 with around 30 feature-length episodes per year, which makes it the longest-running German TV drama. The series is a collection of different police stories where different police teams each solve crimes in their respective city.
Vogl, who is head of the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main, was president of the 102nd German Radiology Congress, which finished on 8 November 2021.

![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
