Effects of muscle temperature on ultrasound characteristics of muscle tissue

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how muscle temperature influences echointensity and echotexture variables such as homogeneity, contrast, correlation, and entropy in healthy subjects. By acquiring ultrasound images of the vastus lateralis muscle while continuously recording muscle temperature, the study aims to understand the correlation between temperature and ultrasound results. This understanding could enhance the precision of muscle ultrasound as a diagnostic tool, particularly in assessing muscle quality and structure.
