MRI is better suited to the initial JDM investigation given its ability to evaluate all the proximal muscles at once. Monitoring disease activity, on the other hand, may be more easily achieved with ultrasound.

2018年6月12日 · JDM MRI Score provides a standardized tool for clinical and research use. JDM is a rare autoimmune disease in children (<16 years of age). It is a systemic vasculopathy, characterized by proximal muscle weakness, raised muscle enzymes and characteristic skin rash (Gottron’s papules of extensor surfaces and a heliotrope rash of the eyelids).

2022年10月1日 · Whole-body MRI (WBMRI) helps to assess the disease (extent and distribution) in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Abnormal STIR signal and diffusion restriction on WBMRI are useful for the evaluation of myositis in children with JDM.

Markers of inflammatory change in JDM can be observed on MRI in a reliable fashion and have been used to make a reliable and objective scoring system. The accuracy of the proposed scoring system is acceptable for the single reader, although there is …

We retrospectively used the Juvenile Dermatomyositis Imaging Score (JIS) to score MRIs of all children with JDM over a 10-year period. Demographic, diagnosis, treatment and core set measures data were collected. Correlation between CID and JIS was assessed as well as correlation with the physician treatment decision.

2022年11月13日 · Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important non-invasive examination in the early diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of radiomics to establish a quantitative analysis of MRI images.

Our goal is to demonstrate the benefit of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic modality in the detection and management of JDM. One patient with JDM was monitored using clinical examination, muscle enzyme tests, muscle scores and whole-body MRI.

JDM. Biopsy and EMG studies are frequently avoided in diagnosing children with juvenile dermatomyositis. Other diagnostic studies, including MRI, are used more frequently. A diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis should be considered …

Whole-body MRI (WBMRI) helps to assess the disease (extent and distribution) in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Abnormal STIR signal and diffusion restriction on WBMRI are useful for the evaluation of myositis in children with JDM.

WBMRI provided useful information in evaluation of the extent and distribution of findings in children with JDM. There were significant positive correlations between MRI findings and muscle enzymes and clinical examination results.
