Traditional assessments of muscle mass involve radiation and are often unsuitable for frequent monitoring. Ultrasound (US) is noninvasive and radiation\u2010free; however, its reliability in pediatric patients with cancer, who experience rapid changes in body composition, is not well established. This study aimed to determine the interrater reliability of US for measuring key muscle parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A novice and an expert sonographer blindly measured muscle thickness (mT), cross\u2010sectional area (CSA), and echo intensity (EI) for the quadriceps femoris (QF) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles in an oncology group and a healthy group.
