Implication

May aid MRI pattern recognition in inherited myopathies; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with inherited muscle diseases (e.g., muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies)
I
Intervention
Neuromuscular imaging (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging)

Neuromuscular imaging, especially MRI, provides characteristic patterns of muscle involvement that aid in the differential diagnosis and clinical workup of inherited muscle diseases.
