Muscle strain imaging (MSI) is based on ultrasound elasticity imaging of tissue and describes mechanical properties of muscle as a result of internal deformation. MSI is potentially a powerful tool to diagnose cardiac and skeletal muscle disorders in humans.

We have used MSI to assess mechanical properties of contracting skeletal muscle at several different scales from isolated single fibers and excised whole muscle to in vivo human forearm and leg.
