The aims of this review are to discuss the imaging modalities used to assess muscle changes in myopathies, to provide an overview of the inherited myopathies focusing on their patterns of muscle involvement in magnetic resonance imaging (MR), and to propose up-to-date imaging-based diagnostic algorithms that can help in the diagnostic workup. Familiarization with the most common and specific patterns of muscular involvement in inherited myopathies is very important for radiologists and…

Muscle MRI characteristic pattern for late-onset TK2 deficiency diagnosis
TLDR
A characteristic and specific radiological pattern of muscle involvement in patients with TK2d that could be useful to speed up its diagnosis is identified by analyzing the largest cohort of muscle MRI from patients with mitochondrial myopathies studied to date.
Ambulatory Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Children: Cross-sectional Correlation between Function, Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound and MRI
TLDR
Quantitative MUS correlates significantly with clinical/functional assessment tools as MFM and 6MWT, and augments their role in disease-tracking of DMD, and has the potential to act as a substitute to functional assessment tools.
A deep learning tool without muscle-by-muscle grading to differentiate myositis from facio-scapulo-humeral dystrophy using MRI.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Inflammatory Myopathies
TLDR
The role of magnetic resonance imaging in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), focusing on the 3 major types of IIM, is reviewed, with an overview about some advanced MRI techniques that focus more on function than on morphology of muscle.
Neuromuscular imaging in inherited muscle diseases
TLDR
The aim of this review is to give a comprehensive overview of current methods and applications as well as future perspectives in the field of neuromuscular imaging in inherited muscle diseases and provide diagnostic algorithms that might guide us through the differential diagnosis in hereditary myopathies.
Myoimaging in Congenital Myopathies.
Muscle MRI in inherited neuromuscular disorders: Past, present, and future
TLDR
How muscle MRI, in combination with clinical evaluation, can contribute to the selection of appropriate genetic tests and more generally in the differential diagnosis of genetically distinct forms of neuromuscular disorders is illustrated.
Muscular MRI-based algorithm to differentiate inherited myopathies presenting with spinal rigidity
TLDR
A novel decision algorithm based on muscle fat replacement graded on mWB-MRI that allows diagnosis and differentiation of inherited myopathies presenting with spinal rigidity is presented.
STIR MRI to Direct Muscle Biopsy in Suspected Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy
TLDR
The advent of short tau inversion recovery sequences now allows rapid magnetic resonance imaging of the whole body to be performed, enabling identification of the muscles most suitable for biopsy and encouraging clinicians to use the technique in this context.
Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in myopathies: correlations with electromyography and histopathology
TLDR
Compared with EMG and muscle biopsy findings in the same muscles of 33 patients with different neuromuscular diseases, US is the most economical method and it was found to be, despite its lower resolution, very informative in the hands of an experienced examiner, especially for the detection of fibrosis.
Approach to the diagnosis of congenital myopathies
Functional imaging in muscular diseases
TLDR
MRI has reached an acceptable value in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with muscular Na+ channelopathies that are characterised by myocellular Na+ overload and consecutive muscle weakness and low mechanical index contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) methods are introduced.
