Abstract

Availability of noninvasive, robust, and reliable methods for assessing segmental skeletal muscle volume is essential in general population and conditions involving muscle wasting. This work aimed at: i) optimizing serial bioelectrical impedance analysis (SBIA) by computing a conductivity constant experimentally, ii) investigating the potential of SBIA for assessing lean thigh muscle volume. Twenty healthy participants, twenty patients with idiopathic myositis, and one patient with muscle dystrophy underwent thighs MRI (anatomical images and fat fraction maps).
