Key Points
Reduced muscle volume and increased fat fraction were observed in participants compared to healthy controls.
Initial findings indicate significant alterations in intermuscular fat and abdominal structures post-chemotherapy.
MRI techniques effectively quantified muscle and fat distributions, linking them to physical performance issues.
High-risk hematologic patients may benefit from targeted nutritional and rehabilitation interventions.
