Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
However, semantics aside, we think that DXA can indeed serve as a reference standard for measuring muscle mass. Obviously, CT and MRI are advanced techniques that can and have been used to obtain important information such as muscle size/volume and more ...

Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement of muscle mass, but the techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, the literature does not establish consensus on the best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, the
