Overview

There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Location] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

MRI

Lower limb MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Findings on MRI suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy include:[1]

  • High T1-weighted signal in affected muscles such as:
    • Gastrocnemii muscles
    • Gluteus maximus
    • Gluteus medius
    • Adductor magnus muscles
    • Psoas
    • Iliacus
    • Quadriceps
    • Rectus femoris
