Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable tool for evaluating musculoskeletal disease
as it offers a range of image contrasts that are sensitive to underlying tissue biochemical …

Due to its exceptional sensitivity to soft tissues, MRI has been extensively utilized to assess
anatomical muscle parameters such as muscle volume and cross‐sectional area …

Phosphocreatine (PCr) plays a vital role in neuron and myocyte energy homeostasis.
Currently, there are no routine diagnostic tests to noninvasively map PCr distribution with …

Sarcopenia is a clinical condition mainly affecting the elderly that can be associated in a
long run with severe consequences like malnutrition and frailty. Considering the progressive …

Purpose To develop a fast MR fingerprinting (MRF) sequence for simultaneous estimation of
water T1 (T1H2O) and fat fraction (FF) in fat infiltrated skeletal muscles. Methods The MRF …

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 …

Objective To characterize muscle involvement and evaluate disease severity in patients with
GNE myopathy using skeletal muscle MRI and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy …

Objective. In vivo imaging assessments of skeletal muscle structure and function allow for
longitudinal quantification of tissue health. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) non …

Background Little is known about the disease distribution and severity detected by T1-
mapping in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Furthermore, the correlation between …

Background Quantitative MRI is increasingly proposed in clinical trials related to
neuromuscular disorders (NMDs). Purpose To investigate the potential of an MR …
