Scanning for answers: could MRI replace painful biopsies for mysterious muscle diseases?
NCT ID NCT04866459
Summary
This study aims to see if full-body muscle MRI scans can become a better, non-invasive tool for diagnosing rare neuromuscular diseases. Researchers will collect and analyze MRI scans from 1,000 patients across 14 international centers to identify unique patterns of muscle damage linked to specific diseases. The goal is to validate MRI as a diagnostic method that could help confirm genetic results and reduce the need for painful muscle biopsies.
