Respiratory magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
OBJECTIVE To examine the diaphragm and chest wall dynamics with cine breathing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in ambulatory boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) without respiratory symptoms and controls. METHODS In 11 DMD boys and 15 controls, cine MRI of maximal breathing was recorded for 10 sec. The lung segmentations were done by an automated pipeline based on a Holistically-Neste...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle magnetic resonance biomarkers correlate with function and sentinel events in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
OBJECTIVE To provide evidence for quantitative magnetic resonance (qMR) biomarkers in Duchenne muscular dystrophy by investigating the relationship between qMR measures of lower extremity muscle pathology and functional endpoints in a large ambulatory cohort using a multicenter study design. METHODS MR spectroscopy and quantitative imaging were implemented to measure intramuscular fat fractio...
متن کاملUpper arm and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
We analyzed quantitative maps of T1 and T2 relaxation times and muscle fat fraction measurements in magnetic resonance imaging of the upper arm skeletal muscles and heart in ambulatory boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and age-range-matched healthy volunteer boys. The cardiac-optimized sequences detected fatty infiltration and edema in the upper arm skeletal muscles but not the myocardium i...
متن کاملRespiratory muscle training in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Eighteen boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy were entered into trials to assess the effects of specific ventilatory strength and endurance training programmes. The findings showed an improvement in ventilatory muscle endurance but not in strength as a result of specific respiratory muscle training. The clinical significance of these findings is uncertain, however, and needs further evaluation.
