Summary
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose neuromuscular diseases (like muscular dystrophy) by using whole-body MRI scans instead of invasive muscle biopsies. Researchers will collect MRI data from 1,000 patients across 14 centers to identify patterns of muscle damage. The goal is to make diagnosis faster, more accurate, and less painful for patients.
