Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive
disease of which there is no cure. There is a need for
biomarkers that are sensitive to progression,
non-invasive, have excellent precision, and are easily
transferable between institutions. MRI and MRS can be
used to characterize muscle for detection of DMD
pathology. The goal here is to identify biomarkers,
characterize patterns of muscle involvement, and
summarize DMD progression using a modeling approach
utilizing MRI and MRS data.
