The purpose of this article is to review steatosis and fibrosis of skeletal muscle, focusing on
older adults. Although CT, MRI, and ultrasound are commonly used to image skeletal …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has become an essential technique for
the assessment of cardiac function and morphology, and is now routinely used to monitor …

Fibrosis is a key pathological feature in muscle disorders, but its quantification mainly relies
on histological and biochemical assays. Muscle fibrosis most frequently is entangled with …

Major advances in biomedical imaging have occurred over the last 2 decades and now
allow many physiological, cellular, and molecular processes to be imaged noninvasively in …

Genetic modifiers alter disease progression in both preclinical models and subjects with
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) …

Early diagnosis of deep tissue injury remains problematic due to the complicated and
multifactorial nature of damage induction and the many processes involved in damage …

Purpose Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by a heterogeneous
morphology and variable prognosis. A mismatch between left ventricular mass (LVM) and …

Abstract Introduction/Purpose Extreme ultra-endurance races are growing in popularity, but
their effects on skeletal muscles remain mostly unexplored. This longitudinal study explores …

Deformation of skeletal muscle in the proximity of bony structures may lead to deep tissue
injury category of pressure ulcers. Changes in mechanical properties have been proposed …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has become an accurate and versatile
imaging modality to visualize the cardiovascular system in normal or abnormal conditions. In …
