Evaluation of Dysphagia in Myositis and Muscular Dystrophy Using Real‐Time MRI and Quantitative Muscle Ultrasound
This study supports the value of novel MRI and ultrasound techniques for clinical use by identifying the pathophysiology and severity of impaired swallowing. Differentiating the phenotypes of dysphagia can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of affected patients. RT-MRI and QMUS may serve as outcome measures for swallowing in clinical trials.
