Ainsley Smith

Congratulations to MD/PhD student @ainsleysmith51 - recipient of a Vanier @CIHR_IRSC CGS award for her work on muscle degeneration in critical illness! A huge accomplishment reflecting her hard work and leadership. @McCaigInstitute @UCalgaryBME

Our paper using internal calibration to measure muscle density (linked to fat infiltration) in clinically acquired CT scans is now available on PLOS ONE doi.org/10.1371/journa…. Measures are accurate and more reliable than using Hounsfield Units (HU). @ainsleysmith51
