PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the capabilities of a deep learning (DL) tool to discriminate between type 1 facioscapulo-humeral dystrophy (FSHD1) and myositis using whole-body muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination wit...
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) affects roughly 1 in 7500 individuals. While at the population level there is a general pattern of affected muscles, there is substantial heterogeneity in muscle expression across- and within-patients. Th...
BACKGROUND: Quantitative muscle water T2 (T2w) mapping is regarded as a biomarker for disease activity and response to treatment in neuromuscular diseases (NMD). However, the implementation in clinical settings is limited due to long scanning times a...
