Snapshots of deep muscle fibres can be taken by a new technique - it could benefit athletes or those recovering from injury
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a new, painless way of measuring the stiffness of the deepest muscle fibres by taking snapshots of the problem area with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. By contrast, established techniques for measuring muscle stiffness rely on sensors inserted into the tissue.
It is predicted that MRE will be ready for general use within five years, benefiting athletes and people recovering from injuries, as well as stroke victims and people with cerebral palsy who cannot control their movements because their muscles will not relax. Botox injections or surgery can help, and MRE will enable doctors to target the treatment precisely.
MRE should also help doctors track the progress of diseases that cause muscle to degenerate, such as multiple sclerosis or hypothyroidism
