MRI provides a simple, non-invasive means of detecting subtle, subclinical changes in individual muscles that reflects the progression of dystrophinopathy and can provide diagnostic evidence for DMD and support the argument to initiate therapy at earlier ages.
MRI patterns of muscle involvement in type 2 and 3 spinal muscular atrophy patients
