Background & aims Sarcopenia is a muscle disorder associated with loss of muscle mass,
strength and function. Early screening, diagnosis and treatment may improve outcome in …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress towards therapy of many previously incurable
neuromuscular diseases. This new context has acted as a driving force for the development …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is increasingly applied to study skeletal muscle physiology,
anatomy, and pathology. The reason for this growing interest is that DTI offers unique …

Purpose To develop a protocol for diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) of the complete upper legs
and to demonstrate feasibility of detection of subclinical sports-related muscle changes in …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a popular method to assess differences in fiber
organization in diseased and healthy muscle tissue. Previous work has shown that muscle …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the dominant 3D imaging modality to
quantify muscle properties in skeletal muscle disorders, in inherited and acquired muscle …

The mechanical functions of muscles involve the generation of force and the actuation of
movement by shortening or lengthening under load. These functions are influenced, in part …

Objectives Standardization is an important milestone in the validation of DWI-based
parameters as imaging biomarkers for renal disease. Here, we propose technical …

Diffusion‐tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT‐MRI) offers objective measures of
muscle characteristics, providing insights into age‐related changes. We used DT‐MRI to …

Neuromuscular diseases are characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and
muscle weakness resulting in functional disabilities. While each of these diseases is …
