How can conventional and advanced muscle imaging modalities be used in the evaluation of hereditary and acquired myopathies?
How can conventional and advanced muscle imaging modalities be used in the evaluation of hereditary and acquired myopathies?
This review provides a comprehensive overview and clinical recommendations for utilizing various imaging modalities to assess inherited and acquired muscle diseases.
May guide imaging selection in myopathies; leaves open prospective validation of patterns.
In this review we discuss the use of conventional (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound) and advanced muscle imaging modalities (diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy) in hereditary and acquired myopathies. We summarize the data on specific patterns of muscle involvement in the major categories of muscle disease and provide recommendations on how to use muscle imaging in this field of neuromuscular disorders.
