New scan aims to spot crippling muscle disease faster
NCT ID NCT01432613
Summary
This study tested whether a whole-body MRI scan could accurately diagnose serious inflammatory muscle diseases like polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Researchers enrolled 139 patients with suspected muscle disease to compare MRI results against the standard muscle biopsy test. The goal was to see if MRI could provide a faster, less invasive way to get the right diagnosis so treatment could start sooner.
