Diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy identified by machine learning

ConclusionsWe identified MRI patterns that showed a high diagnostic power in promptly discriminating FSHD from other muscle disorders, with comparable performance irrespective of typical or atypical clinical features. Upper girdle in addition to lower-limb muscle imaging should be extensively implemented in the diagnostic workup to support or exclude a diagnosis of FSHD.
