Supports T1 rho dispersion for muscle differentiation; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
Observational (n=21)
Does T1 rho dispersion imaging differentiate between normal and diseased skeletal muscle tissue?
T1 rho dispersion imaging can differentiate between normal and diseased skeletal muscle tissue, potentially aiding in the accurate identification of affected muscles for biopsy.
Lamminen et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Primary skeletal muscle disease (n=21). T1 rho dispersion imaging vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Relative T1 rho dispersion values. T1 rho dispersion imaging demonstrated a statistically significant difference in relative dispersion values between normal and diseased muscle tissue, potentially increasing diagnostic accuracy.
