MRI of muscle is a valuable tool for guiding the selection of which muscle to biopsy in patients with suspected congenital myopathies.
MRI may guide biopsy selection in suspected congenital myopathies; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Ennis et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Congenital Nemaline Myopathy (n=1). Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of muscle was evaluated on Identification of appropriate muscle for biopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the proximal lower limbs demonstrated marked signal abnormality in the hamstring muscles, successfully guiding the muscle biopsy that confirmed congenital nemaline myopathy.
