Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) may allow the determination of new threshold values, based
on water anisotropy, to differentiate between healthy muscle and various pathological …

Increasingly, attention is being directed towards time-dependent diffusion magnetic
resonance imaging (TDDMRI), a method that reveals time-related changes in the diffusional …

Background Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X‐linked disorder characterized by
slow, progressive muscle damage and muscle weakness. Hallmarks include fibre‐size …

Purpose Preliminary study to determine whether double pulsed field gradient (PFG) diffusion
MRI is sensitive to key features of muscle microstructure related to function. Methods The …

Evidence mounts that the steady‐state cellular water efflux (unidirectional) first‐order rate
constant (kio [s− 1]) magnitude reflects the ongoing, cellular metabolic rate of the cytolemmal …

Abstract Purpose Implement STEAM‐DTI to model time‐dependent diffusion eigenvalues
using the random permeable barrier model (RPBM) to study age‐related differences in the …

Skeletal muscle has a classic structure function relationship; both skeletal muscle
microstructure and architecture are directly related to force generating capacity. Biopsy, the …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides insight into the skeletal muscle microstructure and
can be acquired using a stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM)‐based approach to …

This review is focused on the current status of quantitative MRI (qMRI) of skeletal muscle.
The first section covers the techniques of qMRI in muscle with the focus on each quantitative …
