Muscle Composition Analysis of Ultrasound Images: A Narrative Review of Texture Analysis

Abstract

Skeletal muscle composition, often characterized by the degree of intramuscular adipose tissue, deteriorates with aging and disease and contributes to impairments in function and metabolism. Ultrasound can provide surrogate measures of muscle composition through measurement of echo intensity; however, there are several limitations associated with its analysis. More complex image processing features, broadly known as texture analysis, can also …
