Abstract: The capability of energy and entropy metrics of radio-frequency ultrasonic backscatter is validated and quantified for differentiation among normal, dystrophic and steroid-treated muscle in the mdx model. Results suggest the delineation of both treated and untreated-mdx biceps from normal controls.
