[Sonographic evaluation of myopathy].
[inclusion body myositis]
The
imaging
of
muscle
fibers
has
been
utilized
in
the
management
of
patients
with
suspected
myopathy
.
Ultrasonography
(
US
)
of
skeletal
muscles
has
advantages
over
MRI
and
CT
in
that
US
can
quickly
assess
muscles
in
the
entire
body
.
US
findings
in
myopathy
are
diffuse
(
e
.
g
.
,
increased
or
decreased
echo
signal
in
muscular
dystrophy
and
myositis
)
and
focal
(
e
.
g
.
,
a
mass
in
sarcoid
myopathy
,
or
preferential
involvement
in
inclusion
body
myositis
)
.
US
evaluation
is
useful
in
determining
the
potential
site
for
a
muscle
biopsy
,
where
an
adequate
degree
of
myopathy
should
be
present
.
Further
studies
will
reveal
the
correlation
between
the
sonographic
findings
as
well
as
clinical
and
other
imaging
abnormalities
.
