Sonographic quantitative assessment of the deltoid muscle could translate into a dedicated, simple and noninvasive screening method to detect type 2 diabetes.
The quantitative assessment of the deltoid muscle by ultrasound could accurately detect type 2 diabetes, according to a study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2021 Annual Meeting.
“Following further studies, this process could translate into a dedicated, simple and noninvasive screening method to detect type 2 diabetes,” the authors wrote. The process could help identify “some of the 232 million undiagnosed persons globally and could prove especially beneficial in screening of underserved and underrepresented communities.”
