Comparing MRI and ultrasound for muscle health
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two imaging methods, MRI and ultrasound, to see how well they measure muscle health. It may help find better ways to monitor muscle conditions without invasive tests.

This study looks at how children with FSHD move and function over time. It uses walking tests and optional MRI scans to understand muscle changes. Your child's participation could help researchers learn more about FSHD progression in kids.
This study uses ultrasound imaging to measure muscle quality and see if it can predict how strong your muscles are. If you're generally healthy and live in Spain, researchers want to understand how muscle appearance on ultrasound relates to actual muscle strength.
This study uses an ultrasound scan to look at muscles and nerves (including the breathing muscle). It may help researchers better understand neuromuscular problems and how well ultrasound can detect them.
This study tests whether special MRI scans can help evaluate neuromuscular (muscle/nerve) diseases. It may help doctors better assess muscle involvement and support diagnosis and evaluation.
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to look at muscles in people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. It helps doctors see how the muscles are affected without needing a biopsy.
This study uses MRI scans to measure muscle changes in people with myotonic dystrophy (DM1 or DM2) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find better ways to track the disease over time.
