Official Title: New Biomarkers in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography.
Brief Summary:
Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most frequent muscular dystrophies in the adulthood.Multi-spectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) is an innovative imaging technique able to non-invasively characterize the molecular composition of the muscle tissue.With this pilot study we will explore the performance of MSOT imaging in FSHD patients and correlate the findings with clinical and MRI data, with the final aim to identify new disease biomarkers.
