Hello all, There is a new version of MuscleExpert (1d) with more bug fixes and improvements. zenodo.org/records/180895… Also, there is a tutorial on YouTube (no audio) with some visuals of how the program works. New tutorials will come soon. youtu.be/Pf1BY5KDT9Q?si… Thank you!

I am proud to share that I developed MuscleExpert, a free software for muscle imaging analysis. ✅ Comparable results to ImageJ ⚡ Up to 80–90% faster 💻 Available for Windows and Mac The article is under review, the software is already available: zenodo.org/records/169196…

@MattStockPhD @ExphysPhD @Grant_Norte @UCF_Kinesiology @UCFGradStudies @UCF_CNSlab @UCF I want to read!!! This is very relevant to our field. Muscle quality measured by echo intensity?

Great job by my mentee, Kevan Knowles, on a successful M.S. thesis defense today. Kevan conducted a 6 wk RCT to examine the impact of training volume on multiple measures of muscle quality among older adults. Manuscript will be submitted shortly!

@AJNasrPT @MattStockPhD @UMBaltimore I hope this work can help you!! Feel free to reach out. Good luck!!

@Marcellanza @MattStockPhD @UMBaltimore Anxious to read this as I am using ImageJ for a piece of my dissertation work.

Do you use ImageJ for your imaging analysis? Make sure you are using the right tool. Check our last work. @UMBaltimore doi.org/10.1007/s40477…

@MattStockPhD @UMBaltimore Thanks @MattStockPhD ! Means a lot coming from you. 🤩

@Marcellanza @UMBaltimore Great work!

I am looking for a Statistician to collaborate on NIH grant proposals. Everyone is always too busy. Thus, if you are an “early-stage investigator” might be a great opportunity to team up and do some great stuff. DM me. If you know anyone who could help me, please, DM me too.
