Utility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging versus Computed Tomography to Assess Temporalis Muscle and Masseter Muscle Thickness as Proxies for Frailty in Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

This article, published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, explores the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) to assess the thickness of the temporalis and masseter muscles as indicators of frailty in patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). The study found that both MRI and CT measurements correlated with frailty measures, but MRI measurements were better associated with frailty than CT measurements. The authors suggest that MRI should be considered the gold standard imaging for future studies on TMT and MMT in patients with SNSCC. [Extracted from the article]
