Influence of subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle thickness on rectus femurs echo intensity in younger and older males and females
(Wiley, 2022-09)Objectives—Ultrasound measurements of muscle echo intensity are commonly used surrogates of muscle composition (eg, intramuscular adipose tissue). However, given that soundwaves are increasingly attenuated with tissue ... -
Older males exhibit reduced anterior upper leg and anterior abdominal muscle thickness compared to younger males when matched for relative appendicular lean tissue
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Background Ageing-related muscle atrophy does not occur uniformly across the body; rather, atrophy occurs to a greater extent in specific muscle groups compared to others. However, site-specific comparisons of muscle mass ... -
Site-specific skeletal muscle echo intensity and thickness differences in subcutaneous adipose tissue matched older and younger adults
(Wiley, 2021-03)Background: Age-related deterioration of muscle mass does not occur uniformly across the body. However, there is limited knowledge on the uniformity of age-related muscle composition changes across the body. Objective: ... -
Ultrasound image resolution influences analysis of skeletal muscle composition
(Wiley, 2020-06-03)Introduction: Analysis of muscle composition using ultrasound requires standardization of several equipment settings (i.e. gain). However, the influence of image resolution, which is altered by imaging depth, on measures ...
