MRI and biophysical evaluation were performed on eight
subjects consisting of control and patients with varying
degrees of myopathy. Despite small sample size, the
potential for quantitative MRI features based on texture
analysis is demonstrated as a functional means for
muscle function in comparison with dynamometer-based
muscle strength measurements, which could be an
invaluable tool in study of the disease progression
and/or treatment intervention in both clinical and
research setting.
