Imaging: seeing muscle in new ways.
[inclusion body myositis]
The
idiopathic
inflammatory
myopathies
are
diseases
that
can
be
difficult
to
diagnose
and
evaluate
,
but
diagnosis
has
been
improved
by
modern
imaging
techniques
.
Advances
in
imaging
continue
to
be
made
.
Therefore
,
it
is
necessary
to
evaluate
the
implications
of
these
advances
for
the
diagnosis
,
understanding
,
and
management
of
muscle
diseases
.
There
have
been
advances
in
imaging
across
multiple
modalities
.
Several
new
radiotracers
show
an
improved
ability
to
focus
on
inflammation
better
than
older
agents
.
Magnetic
resonance
spectroscopy
has
shown
the
ability
to
diagnose
several
idiopathic
inflammatory
myopathy
mimics
.
MRI
reveals
previously
unknown
areas
of
disease
when
used
for
full-body
imaging
.
Ultrasound
has
the
ability
to
differentiate
inclusion
body
myositis
from
other
myopathies
.
Currently
,
MRI
and
ultrasound
offer
the
most
information
about
these
diseases
in
a
given
patient
,
and
new
advances
in
these
fields
have
served
to
only
make
them
more
useful
.
New
advances
in
nuclear
imaging
and
magnetic
resonance
spectroscopy
are
showing
that
they
have
utility
as
well
,
and
advances
in
these
techniques
may
allow
them
to
come
to
the
forefront
in
evaluating
difficult
idiopathic
inflammatory
myopathy
patients
.
