Ultrasound-based Imaging of Motor Units in Skeletal Muscle Tissue

• Neuromuscular diseases hinder muscle function and may be the outcome of damage and dysfunction of the smallest voluntarily activatable units in skeletal muscle tissue, the so-called motor units (MUs). MUs generate electrical signals and analyzing these signals gives a basis to assess and diagnose MUs. The signals are captured using needle electromyography, which is an invasive and non-imaging method. Here, we showultrasound-basedimaging of MUs, via an ultrasound-based spatiotemporal decomposition framework.
