Summary
This study aims to see if muscle MRI scans can accurately diagnose different types of neuromuscular diseases (muscle and nerve disorders). Researchers will collect MRI scans from 1000 patients across 14 centers to identify unique patterns of muscle damage. If successful, this non-invasive method could help doctors diagnose these conditions faster and reduce the need for muscle biopsies.
