Agenda:
- Muscle MRI transforming care and research in genetic muscle disease — Dr. Jodi Warman Chardon (NMD4C Steering Committee member)
- Use of Ultrasound in Pediatric Neuromuscular Disorders — Dr. Jean Mah
- Still Gold: the Ongoing Need for Muscle Biopsies in the Molecular Age — Dr. Leslie Hamilton (NMD4C member)
Learning objectives:
- Highlight diagnostic techniques (Muscle Biopsy, Neuromuscular Ultrasound, Muscle MRI) to improve phenotyping for patients with genetic neuromuscular disease
- Develop a biopsy-based diagnostic approach in the genomics era with myopathies/muscular dystrophies
- Recognize clinical applications of neuromuscular ultrasound and diagnostic value in muscle and nerve disorders
- Identify Muscle MRI patterns to guide genetic testing interpretation and myopathy mimics
