| Summary: | Objective To evaluate the muscle mass, elasticity, hardness, and blood flow perfusion of skeletal muscles in elderly patients using multimodal ultrasound, and analyse the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound for sarcopenia.Methods Patients over 60 years old with sarcopenia and healthy elderly individuals were selected as the sarcopenia group and control group. Musculoskeletal ultrasound, virtual touch tissue imaging quantification, and power Doppler ultrasound were used to measure and score the muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, shear wave velocity, and blood flow energy signals of bilateral biceps and rectus femoris muscles, respectively. The diagnostic values of multimodal ultrasound parameters for sarcopenia were analyzed based on the relative skeletal muscle mass index results obtained by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).Results A total of 73 study subjects were included, including 36 cases in the sarcopenia group and 37 cases in the control group. The age, biceps, and rectus femoris shear wave velocity of the sarcopenia group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P |
