New handheld scanner could replace MRI for muscle disease monitoring
NCT ID NCT07502989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a handheld device called mScan that uses a tiny, painless electrical current to measure muscle health. Researchers want to see if it can give similar results to an MRI, but faster and more conveniently. The study involves 150 adults with and without muscle diseases like muscular dystrophy or myositis. If successful, the mScan could become a simple tool to track muscle health over time.
