Muscle imaging – mri

The impact of muscle MRI in diagnostics of suspected myopathies is still discussed controversially. To further analyze the status of muscle MRI, electromyography (EMG) and muscle biopsy, a total of 191 patients have been included into the study group. Age at inclusion was 52.63 years (range: 18 to 88 years). All patients included into the study received muscle MRI, EMG and muscle biopsy for diagnostic reason and suspected myopathy. In all patients assessed, localization of biopsy and muscle MRI were identical.
