Abstract：Skeletal muscle,as an important component of the skeletal-muscular system,exhibits unique anatomical and structural characteristics.Pathophysiological changes in skeletal muscle are critical to movement,treatment approaches,and prognosis of skeletal muscle diseases.This review provides an overview of MRI-based quantitative parameters used to assess skeletal muscle morphology and histology(such as cross-sectional area,fat content,inflammatory edema status,and muscle fiber structure types),their assessment methods,and clinical applications,as well as the correlation between skeletal muscle health or disease states and MRI-derived quantitative parameters.Additionally,the review highlights recent advances in multimodal MRI for the quantitative evaluation of skeletal muscle structure and function,offering insights into potential clinical applications.
