Quantitative Ultrasound Imaging to Assess Skeletal Muscles in Adults with Multiple Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of quantitative ultrasound imaging (QUI) in assessing the biceps brachii muscle and gastrocnemius muscle in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: From May to October 2018, we prospectively performed B-mode ultrasound imaging and ultrasound strain elastography of the biceps brachii muscle and gastrocnemius muscle in 24 patients with MS and 10 age-matched healthy volunteers. ImageJ (https://imagej.

Ultrasound elastography in neuromuscular and movement disorders.

The purpose of this review is to summarize main pathophysiology of neuromuscular and movement disorders, present published evidence of ultrasound elastography in the assessment of common neuromuscular and movement disorders, and discuss what role ultrasound elastography modality can play in respect to neuromuscular and movement disorders.
