Muscle quality defined as the ratio of muscle strength to muscle mass disregards underlying
factors which influence muscle strength. The aim of this review was to investigate the …

Aged skeletal muscle is markedly affected by fatty muscle infiltration, and strategies to
reduce the occurrence of intramuscular adipocytes are urgently needed. Here, we show that …

Background MRI allows quantitatively assessing muscle quantity and quality. Purpose To
summarize the role of MRI as a noninvasive technique for the identification of in vivo …

Objectives Chemical shift encoding-based water–fat MRI derived proton density fat fraction
(PDFF) of the paraspinal muscles has been emerging as a surrogate marker in subjects with …

There is no effective treatment available for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1
(FSHD1), but emerging therapies are under way that call for a better understanding of …

Background Time-efficient and accurate whole volume thigh muscle segmentation is a major
challenge in moving from qualitative assessment of thigh muscle MRI to more quantitative …

Background Myosteatosis, skeletal muscle fat infiltration, is associated with inflammation
and fibrosis. The age-related increase of myosteatosis is an important characteristic of …

Background Assessment of the thigh muscle fat composition using magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) can provide surrogate markers in subjects suffering from various …

Introduction Important components that might mediate the relationship between aging and
falls are reduced muscle strength and mass. Although muscle-related phenotypes have …

Objective To evaluate the utility of nerve diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), nerve cross‐
sectional area, and muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) multiecho Dixon for …
