Evaluation of dysphagia using real-time MRI and ultrasound in myositis and muscular dystrophy reveals critical phenotypes, indicating potential for clinical trials.
This study supports the value of novel MRI and ultrasound techniques for clinical use by identifying the pathophysiology and severity of impaired swallowing. Differentiating the phenotypes of dysphagia can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of affected patients. RT-MRI and QMUS may serve as outcome measures for swallowing in clinical trials.
