Abstract

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) may allow the determination of new threshold values, based on water anisotropy, to differentiate between healthy muscle and various pathological processes. Additionally, it may quantify treatment monitoring or training effects. Most current studies have evaluated the potential of DTI of skeletal muscle to assess sports-related injuries or therapy, and training monitoring. Another critical area of application of this technique is the characterization and monitoring of primary and secondary myopathies. In this manuscript, we review the application of DTI in the evaluation of skeletal muscle in these and other novel clinical scenarios, with emphasis on the use of quantitative imaging–derived biomarkers. Finally, the main limitations of the introduction of DTI in the clinical setting and potential areas of future use are discussed.
