Sarcopenia, a condition characterised by the loss of muscle mass and strength, is a growing concern in ageing populations1, 2. This study explores the use of ultrasound (US) as a cost-effective alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessing muscle quality. Specifically, it compares ultrasound echo intensity (EI) and attenuation imaging (ATI) with MRI fat fraction (MR %FF) in the rectus femoris (RF) and biceps brachii (BB) muscles.
