Using magnetic resonance imaging to measure head muscles: An innovative method to opportunistically determine muscle mass and detect sarcopenia

Abstract Background Sarcopenia is associated with multiple adverse outcomes. Traditional methods to determine low muscle mass for the diagnosis of sarcopenia are mainly based on dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA), whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bioelectrical impedance analysis....
