Muscle Wasting
VirtualScopics is helping to analyze muscular changes that occur as a result of Muscular Dystrophy, cachexia, sarcopenia and other debilitating diseases. Our novel endpoints and ability to segment muscles, fat, bone and vessels precisely measure muscle growth or atrophy.
These trials typically utilize CT or MRI and encounter very complicated segmentations - when performed manually. However, our semi-automated techniques allow us to greatly reduce segmentation time and provide more accurate and reliable measurements.
Muscle Wasting Biomarkers:
- Muscle volume for thigh/calf
- Intramuscular fat volume for thigh/calf
- Subcutaneous fat volume for thigh/calf
- Diameter of quadriceps muscle at mid-thigh
- Whole Body Composition
