Muscle ultrasound has high utility in clinical practice and research; however, the main challenges are the training and time required for manual analysis to achieve objective quantification of muscle size and quality. We aimed to develop and validate...
Adipogenesis is intricately linked to the onset and progression of muscle aging; however, the relevant biomarkers remain unclear. This study sought to identify key genes associated with adipogenesis in the context of muscle aging. Firstly, gene expre...

INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence suggests that diminished skeletal muscle mass is associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in individuals with cancer. There are no studies that we know of in the literature that use ultrasound syste...
INTRODUCTION: Grip strength serves as a significant marker for diagnosing and assessing sarcopenia, particularly in elderly populations. The study aims to explore the relationship between individual thigh muscle volumes and grip strength, leveraging ...
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning approaches such as DeepACSA enable automated segmentation of muscle ultrasound cross-sectional area (CSA). Although they provide fast and accurate results, most are developed using data from healthy populations. The changes i...
Sarcopenia has been recognized as a determining factor in surgical outcomes and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and readmission. Diagnosis is currently based on clinical guidelines, which includes assessment of sk...
(1) Background: The aim was to validate an AI-based system compared to the classic method of reading ultrasound images of the rectus femur (RF) muscle in a real cohort of patients with disease-related malnutrition. (2) Methods: One hundred adult pati...

PURPOSE: Manual reconstruction (MR) of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) from sequential ultrasound (US) images is accessible, is reproducible, and has concurrent validity with magnetic resonance imaging. However, this techn...
A stroke is a common disease that can easily lead to lower limb motor dysfunction in the elderly. Stroke survivors can effectively train muscle strength through leg flexion and extension training. However, available lower limb rehabilitation robots i...
