Big MRI study aims to solve muscle disease diagnosis puzzle
NCT ID NCT04866459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting MRI scans from 1000 people with neuromuscular diseases to see if muscle imaging can help doctors diagnose these conditions more accurately and without invasive biopsies. The goal is to create a large database of MRI patterns linked to specific genetic causes, which could lead to faster and less painful diagnosis for future patients.
