We now translate acoustic radiation force-based anisotropy assessment to human muscle <i>in vivo</i> and investigate its clinical relevance to monitoring muscle degeneration in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Clinical anisotropy assessments were performed using Viscoelastic Response ultrasound, with a degree of anisotropy reflected by the ratios of Viscoelastic Response relative elasticity (RE) or relative viscosity (RV) measured with the asymmetric radiation force oriented parallel versus perpendicular to muscle fiber alignment. <i>In vivo</i> results from rectus femoris and gastrocnemius muscles of boys aged ∼7.9–10.4 y indicate that RE and RV anisotropy ratios in rectus femoris muscles of boys with DMD were significantly higher than those of healthy control boys (RE: DMD = 1.51 ± 0.87, control = 0.99 ± 0.69, <i>p</i> = 0.04, Wilcoxon rank sum test; RV: DMD = 1.04 ± 0.71, control = 0.74 ± 0.22, <i>p</i> = 0.02). In the gastrocnemius muscle, only the RV anisotropy ratio was significantly higher in dystrophic than control patients (DMD = 1.23 ± 0.35, control = 0.88 ± 0.31, <i>p</i> = 0.04). In the dystrophic rectus femoris muscle, the RE anisotropy ratio was inversely correlated (slope = –0.03/lbf, <i>r</i> = –0.43, <i>p</i> = 0.07, Pearson correlation) with quantitative muscle testing functional output measures but was not correlated with quantitative muscle testing in the dystrophic gastrocnemius. These results suggest that Viscoelastic Response RE and RV measures reflect differences in mechanical anisotropy associated with functional impairment with dystrophic degeneration that are relevant to monitoring DMD clinically.}, number={12}, journal={ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY}, author={Moore, Christopher J. and Caughey, Melissa C. and Meyer, Diane O. and Emmett, Regina and Jacobs, Catherine and Chopra, Manisha and Howard, James F., Jr. and Gallippi, Caterina M.}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={2519–2530} }
