Quantitative Ultrasound Assessment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Using Edge Detection Analysis

Conclusions— Quantitative US imaging using edge detection can distinguish patients with DMD from healthy controls at low Canny thresholds, at which discrimination of small structures is best. Edge detection by itself or in combination with other tests can potentially serve as a useful biomarker of disease progression and effectiveness of therapy in muscle disorders.
