A description of different levels of the normal adult human skeletal muscular system is given
as derived by computed tomography (CT). A standard program is presented by which a …

A standard program of computed tomographic (CT) scanning of the human skeletal
muscular system was developed. Scans were obtained on five levels: the neck, the shoulder …

• Computed tomographic (CT) scans of muscle in 35 patients with neuromuscular diseases
showed distinct patterns in nerve and muscle diseases. Neural diseases first showed as …

Since 1982, we have used X‐ray computed tomography (CT) to study the skeletal muscles
of neurological patients. We present here the findings in 23 patients with myogenic and 29 …

Twenty patients with neurogenic disorders, polymyositis, or muscular dystrophies were
assessed clinically and by CT imaging of limb, limb girdle, and trunk muscles, using a …

In muscular dystrophy and metabolic myopathy there is wasting and replacement of the
muscle bulk with fat and fibrous tissue. A method for estimating the fat content of muscle and …

One of the most puzzling and striking features of many of the genetically determined
progressive neuromuscular diseases such as the spinal muscular atrophies and the …

HISTOLOGICAL AND HISTOCHEMICAL changes in muscles atrophying as a result of
denervation experimentally induced or of neurogenic dis-ease are well kn0wn. l-9 Several …

Computed tomography (CT) scans of skeletal muscles of 3 patients with pseudohypertrophic
muscular dystrophy are presented. Different patterns of muscle alterations and particualrly of …

This study represents an effort to tabulate the normal mean cross-sectional diameters of
human striated muscle fibers in post-mortem material ranging in age from five months …
