Key result
Muscle imaging, particularly MRI, serves as a crucial diagnostic tool in inherited neuromuscular disorders by revealing distinct patterns of selective muscle involvement that predict specific genetic defects.

May guide targeted genetic testing via MRI patterns in neuromuscular disorders; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
Muscle imaging, particularly MRI, serves as a crucial complementary tool in diagnosing and differentiating inherited neuromuscular disorders by identifying specific patterns of selective muscle involvement.
Heinz Jungbluth (2017) conducted a review in Inherited neuromuscular disorders. Muscle imaging (MRI, CT, Ultrasound) was evaluated. Muscle imaging, particularly MRI, serves as a crucial diagnostic tool in inherited neuromuscular disorders by revealing distinct patterns of selective muscle involvement that predict specific genetic defects.
