Computed tomography derived cervical fat-free muscle fraction as an imaging-based outcome marker in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a pilot study

Abstract Background Outcome assessment in stroke patients is essential for evidence-based stroke care planning. Computed tomography (CT) is the mainstay of diagnosis in acute stroke. This study aimed to investigate whether CT-derived cervical fat-free muscle fraction (FFMF) as a biomarker of muscle...
