Magnetic Imaging for Diagnostic of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Nearly 60% of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients have a low level of diagnostic certainty (possible, probable) at the time of diagnosis. In the absence of biomarkers, this diagnosis is based, among other things, on the demonstration of the diffusion of signs of denervation by electroneuromyography (ENMG). The objective of this study is to improve the earliness and the level of diagnostic certainty by better demonstrating the diffusion of the denervation process by whole body muscular MRI.
Official title: Contribution of Whole Body Muscle MRI for Early Diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
