Sitting vs. supine ultrasound measurements of the vastus medialis: correlations with MRI measurements and age considerations

Sitting vs. supine ultrasound measurements of the vastus medialis: correlations with MRI measurements and age considerations

Abstract Background Muscle thickness (MT) and echo intensity (EI) measurements are ultrasound alternatives to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating muscle quantity and quality. The vastus medialis (VM) is a clinically important muscle, and assessment methods that most accurately reflect it...
