Assessment of Lower Limb Muscle Volume Using 3D Ultrasonography: Validity and Reliability Compared to MRI
3DUS demonstrated excellent reliability but underestimated volumes relative to MRI, influenced by muscle shape and location. Despite limitations, it is a promising, cost-effective method for tracking longitudinal muscle changes. Open methodology supports broader application.
