Skeletal muscle structural assembly (and its remodeling in response to loading–unloading
states) can be investigated macroscopically by assessing muscle architecture, described as …

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 …

Skeletal muscle is one of the larger organs of the body and is integrally involved in
metabolic processes in both health and disease. The ability to accurately and precisely …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable tool for evaluating musculoskeletal disease
as it offers a range of image contrasts that are sensitive to underlying tissue biochemical …

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 …

In sports-related muscle injuries, the main goal of the sports medicine physician is to return
the athlete to competition—balanced against the need to prevent the injury from worsening …

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 …

Muscle is an important component of the muscle-tendon-bone unit, driving skeletal motion
through contractions that alter the length of the muscle. The muscle and myotendinous …

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 …

In this study, we have performed simulations to address the effects of diffusion encoding
parameters, signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and T2 on skeletal muscle diffusion tensor indices …
