Skeletal muscle contains intramyocellular lipid droplets within the cytoplasm of myocytes as
well as intermuscular adipocytes. These depots exhibit physiological and pathological …

The purpose of this investigation was to validate that in vivo measurement of skeletal muscle
attenuation (MA) with computed tomography (CT) is associated with muscle lipid content …

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

Although loss of muscle mass is considered a cause of diminished muscle strength with
aging, little is known regarding whether composition of aging muscle affects strength. The …

Objective: Muscle triglyceride can be assessed in vivo using computed tomography (CT)
and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), two techniques that are based on entirely …

Regional differences in the content of intramyocellular lipids (IMCL), extramyocellular lipids,
and total creatine (TCr) were quantified in soleus (S), tibialis posterior (TP), and tibialis …

Intra‐myocellular lipids (IMCL) are stored in droplets in the cytoplasm of muscle cells and
are an energy storage form readily accessed during long‐term exercise. 1H‐MR …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are being
increasingly used for investigations of human muscle physiology. While MRI reveals the …

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

An MRI technique with high selectivity and sensitivity to the signal components in the
chemical shift range of methylene and methyl protons of fatty acids has been developed for …
