Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe the use of ultrasound-MRI fusion imaging to guide precise and targeted muscle biopsy in patients with suspected myopathies. CONCLUSION. Ultrasound-MRI fusion-guided muscle biopsy allows targeted sampling of tissues with active inflammatory changes and facilitates diagnosis of myopathies.

Keywords: MRI; biopsy; image fusion; myopathy; ultrasound.
