Summary
This study tested whether bedside ultrasound can accurately measure muscle loss in critically ill children, compared to the gold-standard MRI. Researchers enrolled 35 children in the pediatric ICU who already needed an MRI. The goal was to see if ultrasound could be a reliable, easier way to monitor muscle health, which is important for recovery.
