Leg Muscle Assessment by HR-pQCT and DXA: Associations Between Imaging Measures and Muscle Function in Adults with Obesity – A Pilot Study
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) are used for bone assessment but also image adjacent soft tissue. This pilot study examined association between HR-pQCT-measured leg muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and density vs. DXA-derived lean mass,...
