Sarcopenia is a progressive, generalized skeletal muscle disorder characterized by
reduction of muscle mass and strength. It is associated with increased adverse outcomes …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently explored as supplemental tool
to monitor disease progression and treatment response in various neuromuscular disorders …

Imaging has become a valuable tool in the assessment of neuromuscular diseases, and,
specifically, quantitative MR imaging provides robust biomarkers for the monitoring of …

Quantitative muscle MRI is increasingly important in the non-invasive evaluation of
neuromuscular disorders and their progression. Underlying histopathotological alterations …

Background The reference standard for assessing water T 2 (T 2, H2O) at high fat fraction
(FF) is 1H MRS. T 2, H2O (T 2, H2O, MRS) dependence on FF (FFMRS) has recently been …

Objective To evaluate the performance of baseline clinical characteristics and
pretherapeutic histogram parameters derived from T2 mapping of the extraocular muscles …

The main pathologies in the muscles of patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) are
fatty infiltration and edema. Recently, quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for …

Purpose To develop and validate a data acquisition scheme combined with a motion‐
resolved reconstruction and dictionary‐matching‐based parameter estimation to enable free …

Using histogram analysis of T2 values to detect early involvement of extraocular muscles
(EOMs) in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). Five EOMs of each orbit …

Purpose To propose a short‐TR multi‐TI multi‐TE (SHORTIE,[ˈshȯr‐tē]) STEAM single‐
