肌肉弹性的表征将改善肌肉疾病的诊断和治疗。目的是比较使用磁共振弹性成像（MRE）和超声弹性成像（USE）技术来阐明大腿肌肉的MRE制图。方法对5例儿童和7例成人进行两种弹性成像。肌肉弹性的定量（MRE）和定性（USE）绘图，作为肌肉状态和年龄的函数，分别获得剪切波和手动压缩的超声探头。结果两种方法得到的肌肉弹性图相似。这两种成像技术的组合导致与肌肉状态和年龄相关的生理变化的改善描述。结论本研究证明了MRE作为神经肌肉病理学表征和评估肌肉相关疾病特异性治疗效果的临床工具的可行性。肌肉神经47：903908，2013
Introduction Characterization of muscle elasticity will improve the diagnosis and treatment of muscle disorders. The purpose is to compare the use of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and ultrasound elastography (USE) techniques to elucidate the MRE cartography of thigh muscles. Methods Both elastography techniques were performed on 5 children and 7 adults. Quantitative (MRE) and qualitative (USE) cartographies of muscle elasticity, as a function of muscle state and age, were obtained with shear waves and manual compression of the ultrasound probe, respectively. Results Similar cartographies of muscle elasticity were obtained with the 2 methods. The combination of both imaging techniques results in an improved depiction of the physiological changes associated with muscle state and age. Conclusions This study demonstrates the feasibility of MRE for use as a clinical tool in the characterization of neuromuscular pathologies and for assessing the efficacy of specific treatments for muscle related diseases.
