Background In patients with acute and chronic illness, depleted skeletal muscle (SM) mass,
also referred to as sarcopenia, is a condition associated with an underlying disease process …

Background & aims We have sought to develop proper and useful indices for muscle quality
measurements other than muscle attenuation (Hounsfield unit; HU) and to determine the …

Background The imaging assessment of paraspinal muscle morphology and fatty infiltration
has gained considerable attention in the past decades, with reports suggesting an …

Objective To investigate the intra-and inter-observer agreement and correlation between CT
and MR measurements of skeletal muscle area (SMA) in the abdomen. Methods CT and MR …

There is an increasing number of reviews investigating the value of ultrasound (US) in the
assessment of aging-related muscle loss. The present umbrella review aimed to …

Sarcopenia is an important public health problem, characterized by age-related loss of
muscle mass and muscle function. It is a precursor of physical frailty, mobility limitation, and …

Background Muscle metrics derived from computed tomography (CT) are associated with
adverse health events in older persons, but obtaining these metrics using current methods is …

Objective To develop a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically segment
an axial CT image of the pelvis for body composition measures. We hypothesized that a …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review the nomenclature, clinical impact, and
diagnostic techniques characterizing sarcopenia. CONCLUSION. Sarcopenia—defined as …

Importance Sarcopenia is an established prognostic factor in patients with head and neck
squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); the quantification of sarcopenia assessed by imaging is …
