Quantitative MRI Findings and Their Relationship to Muscle Histopathology and Ambulatory Clinical Function in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Our study demonstrates a significant relationship between muscle FF on IDEAL-IQ MRI and histopathologic muscle fatty infiltration, as well as ambulatory clinical function in DMD. DMD patients exhibit a distinct and inhomogeneous fat infiltration pattern of lower limb muscles.
