Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Finding on an ultrasound suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is:
- Increased muscle echogenicity as a result of muscle cells replacement by fat and connective tissue.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Finding on an ultrasound suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is:
- Increased muscle echogenicity as a result of muscle cells replacement by fat and connective tissue.
