Advanced Analysis of the Water/Fat Distribution in Skeletal Muscle Tissue Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Neuromuscular Disease

Advanced Analysis of the Water/Fat Distribution in Skeletal Muscle Tissue Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Neuromuscular Disease

Purpose: Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) frequently cause severe disabilities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–based calculation of the so-called fat fraction (FF) in affected muscles was recently described as a reliable biomarker for monitoring progression of NMDs. This is of high interest as newly...
