Muscle Imaging Study Using Advanced Scanning Technology
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research project uses advanced imaging and tissue sampling to better understand muscle diseases. If you're already having a muscle biopsy (a small tissue sample taken from your muscle) as part of your regular medical care, researchers want to use that sample to test new imaging methods that might help diagnose muscle problems more accurately in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You must be having a muscle biopsy already planned as part of your medical care (not just for this study)
- You must be able to give your permission to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a simple electrical test (EIM) and an MRI scan to check muscle health in people with muscle diseases. It may help researchers learn how to measure muscle changes without a biopsy.
This study looks at a molecule called miR-1 in the blood to see if it can help understand muscle diseases. Researchers will compare levels in people with certain muscle conditions and in healthy volunteers.
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 research study uses MRI scans (a safe imaging tool) to understand how bones, muscles, and joints work. Researchers are looking for both people with muscle or bone injuries and healthy volunteers to compare how the body moves and functions.
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.
This study follows adults who have (or are being evaluated for) inflammatory muscle conditions to collect health data and genetic test information. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
