Muscle Mass

Research on muscle mass focuses on accurately measuring and assessing skeletal muscle quantity and quality, crucial for understanding health and disease. Current efforts utilize advanced image analysis techniques, including machine learning models and geometric flow algorithms, to automatically segment and quantify muscle from various imaging modalities like ultrasound and X-ray, improving upon manual methods' limitations. These advancements enable more precise estimations of muscle mass, particularly important for diagnosing conditions like sarcopenia and monitoring treatment efficacy, ultimately improving patient care and advancing our understanding of musculoskeletal health.
