Purpose This narrative review provides an overview of the current knowledge of B-mode
ultrasound-derived echo intensity (EI) as an indicator of skeletal muscle quality. Method …

Panoramic ultrasound (US) is a novel method used to assess linear dimensions, cross-
sectional area, fatty infiltrate and echo-intensity features of muscles that cannot be measured …

We investigated the validity of panoramic ultrasound (US) compared to magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) for the assessment of hamstrings cross-sectional area (CSA) and volume …

Objectives Despite growing popularity of high intensity interval training (HIIT) for improving
health and fitness, limited data exist identifying the effects of HIIT on muscle characteristics …

The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of ultrasonography for
measurement of hamstring muscle and semitendinosus (ST) tendon cross-sectional area …

Ultrasound devices are common in muscle physiology laboratories due to their ease of use
and validity to assess skeletal muscle characteristics. The current study assessed the …

The ultrasound examination of hamstrings inspires respect due to the connective complexity
of their structures, particularly for sonographers who are not used to this kind of study …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinetic and morphological adaptations that
occur during distinct phases of a block periodized training cycle in weightlifters. Athlete …

Background Hamstrings muscle morphology is determinant of muscle function (ie strength).
Among individuals with ACL reconstruction (ACLR), less cross-sectional area (CSA) and …

Ultrasound muscle images have been extensively used as tools for investigating,
diagnosing and monitoring thigh muscles. However, there is a lack of information examining …
