In developed countries, the prevalence of sarcopenia is rising due to increasing life expectancy. Still, in many clinical settings, sarcopenia may be overlooked and undertreated. While several tools are available for assessment of muscle mass and quality, there remains a need for safe, reliable and accurate diagnostic methods which can be implemented for both sarcopenia diagnosis and the evaluation of treatment efficacyTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo radiologije in onkologije
