Synopsis

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating genetic muscle disorder. To study and characterize this disease efficiently, our group has developed a set of custom single-tuned and multi-tuned coils. We have acquired ¹H, ²³Na and ³¹P data from 20 healthy and diseased samples. Some of the studied biomarkers have shown clear distinctions between healthy and diseased samples.
