There is an unmet need to identify biomarkers sensitive to change in rare, slowly
progressive neuromuscular diseases. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of …

The limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a collection of genetic diseases united in
their phenotypical expression of pelvic and shoulder area weakness and wasting. More than …

The aim of this study was to document upper leg involvement in spinal muscular atrophy
(SMA) with quantitative MRI (qMRI) in a cross‐sectional cohort of patients of varying type …

Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of muscle mass, altered muscle composition, fat and
fibrous tissue infiltration, and abnormal innervation, especially in older individuals with …

To evaluate differences in qMRI parameters of muscle diffusion tensor imaging (mDTI), fat-
fraction (FF) and water T2 time in leg muscles of calpainopathy patients (LGMD R1/D4) …

Objectives Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) constitutes a powerful outcome measure in
neuromuscular disorders, yet there is a broad diversity of approaches in data acquisition …

Objectives Quantitative MRI (qMRI) of muscles is a promising tool to measure disease
progression or to assess therapeutic effects in neuromuscular diseases. Longitudinal …

Abstract Background Water T2 (T2H2O) mapping is increasingly being used in muscular
dystrophies to assess active muscle damage. It has been suggested as a surrogate outcome …

Background It is challenging to diagnose suspected Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
patients in the very early stage of the disease. More evidence is needed to demonstrate the …

Quantitative imaging techniques are emerging in the field of magnetic resonance imaging of
neuromuscular diseases (NMD). T2 of water (T2w) is considered an important imaging …
