Abstract

Abstract:

MRI can non-invasively show the muscles pathological change and damage pattern. It has taken an important role in myopathies diagnosis and research. The emergence of quantitative MRI (qMRI) technology and the advancement of post-processing methods can quantify various characteristics such as muscle composition, mechanical properties, and perfusion, effectively expanding the potential for evaluating muscle pathological changes. This article reviews the application prospects of qMRI technology in hereditary myopathies.

摘要：

MRI可以无创性显示肌肉病理性质和损害分布模式，是肌肉病的重要检查方法。定量MRI（qMRI）技术的出现和后处理方法的进步，可以量化肌肉组成结构、机械性能、灌注等多种特性，有效扩展评估肌肉病理变化的潜力。本文综述qMRI技术在遗传性肌肉病中的应用前景。
