Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Pediatric Muscular Disorders: Recent Advances and Clinical Applications

This review describes various quantitative magnetic resonance imaging techniques that can be used to objectively analyze the composition (12 relaxation time mapping, Dixon imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging), architecture (diffusion tensor imaging), mechanical properties (magnetic resonance elastography), and function (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) of normal and pathologic skeletal muscle in the pediatric population.
