MR Imaging‐Based Biomarkers for Strength Prediction: A Statistical Shape and Architecture Modeling of Quadriceps Muscles

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Muscle mass decline, associated with strength decline, is a hallmark of aging. Yet, strength decline greatly exceeds mass decline. This indicates that aspects of muscle quality and architecture—not reflected by mass—also influence force generating capacity.
