The radiological assessment of muscle properties—size, mass, density (also termed
radiodensity), composition, and adipose tissue infiltration—is fundamental in muscle …

Skeletal muscle is one of the larger organs of the body and is integrally involved in
metabolic processes in both health and disease. The ability to accurately and precisely …

Computed tomography (CT) can yield quantitative imaging data from detailed maps of linear
attenuation coefficients within tissue. The attenuation characteristics of skeletal muscle and …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) are promising
reference methods for quantifying whole body and regional skeletal muscle mass. Earlier …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the dominant 3D imaging modality to
quantify muscle properties in skeletal muscle disorders, in inherited and acquired muscle …

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can quantify muscle
mass and quality. However, it is still unclear if CT and MRI derived measurements can be …

Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable assessment method for muscle pathologies such
as sarcopenia, cachexia, and myosteatosis. However, several key underappreciated scan …

Background Even though skeletal muscle (SM) is the largest body compartment in most
adults and a key phenotypic marker of sarcopenia and cachexia, SM mass was until recently …

Abstract Background/Objective: There is increasing use of computed tomography (CT) in
sarcopenia research using a wide variety of techniques. We performed a systematic review …

A single abdominal cross-sectional computerized axial tomography and magnetic
resonance image is often obtained in studies examining adipose tissue (AT) distribution. An …
