Abstract

AIMS: Muscle morphology provides important information in differentiating disease aetiology, but its measurement remains challenging because of the lack of an efficient and objective method. This study aimed to quantitatively refine the morphological features of muscle fibres in neuromuscular diseases using machine learning.
