A newly developed ultrasonic muscle imaging system. (a) The probe, palm-size and wireless. (b) Measurement of QMCSA, on the midpoint of the thigh of the patient’s dominant leg in a sitting position. The probe was gently and slowly slid for approximately 10 s around two-thirds of the anterior thigh. (c) The PC tablet connected with Bluetooth. (d) Image of QMCSA obtained using the system. Quadriceps plots were automatically detected using machine learning. QMCSA: quadriceps muscle cross-sectional area.
