The role of muscle ultrasound in helping the clinical diagnosis of muscle diseases.

Background: Selective involvement of certain muscles is an indicator for muscle diseases and helps to direct the diagnosis, but in some cases, it cannot be detected clinically; hence, the roles of muscle MRI and ultrasound are to detect this selectivity and facilitate the diagnosis.

Objectives: The possibility of using muscle ultrasound as a screening tool when muscle diseases are suspected and as an alternative to MRI.

Subjects And Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 38 patients presented with clinical manifestations suggestive of muscle diseases.
