Reliability of computed tomography measurements in assessment of thigh muscle cross-sectional area and attenuation
BACKGROUND Advancement in technology of computer tomography (CT) and introduction of new medical imaging softwares enables easy and rapid assessment of muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and attenuation. Before using these techniques in clinical studies there is a need for evaluation of the reliability of the measurements. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the inter- and intra-observer re...
متن کاملEstimation of thigh muscle cross-sectional area by single- and multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis in the elderly.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been used to estimate skeletal muscle mass, but its application in the elderly is not optimal. The accuracy of BIA may be influenced by the expansion of extracellular water (ECW) relative to muscle mass with aging. Multifrequency BIA (MFBIA) can evaluate the distribution between ECW and intracellular water (ICW), and thus may be superior to single-freq...
متن کاملVariant adductor muscle complex of thigh – a case report
Introduction The medial thigh muscles –the adductor group– are in the medial compartment of the thigh. The adductor group of thigh muscles consist of adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis and obturator externus muscles. Collectively these muscles are the adductors of the thigh; however actions of some of these muscles are more complex [1]. Pectineus also belongs anatomical...
متن کاملA Report of Thigh Muscle Infarction in a Diabetic Patient
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Diabetic muscle infarction, which is a rare microangiopathic complication of uncontrolled diabetes, should be considered as a differential diagnosis for diabetic patients with lower extremity swelling and local pain, and without any other systemic symptoms. In this study, we presented the case of a diabetic patient with thigh muscle infarction. CASE REPORT: The case wa...
متن کاملDetermination of thigh muscle stiffness using magnetic resonance elastography.
PURPOSE To measure the elastic properties of the vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), and sartorius (Sr) muscles using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). MATERIALS AND METHODS To obtain a normative database of the aforementioned muscles, oblique scan directions were prescribed passing through each muscle. Shear waves were induced into the muscles using pneumatic and mechanical dri...
