Fischmann A, Hafner P, Fasler S, Gloor M, Bieri O, Studler U, Fischer D.
J Neurol. 2012. 259(8): 1648-54.
The aim of this study was to compare different methods of quantitative and semiquantitative MRI in order to validate clinical parameters for the follow-u of Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).
MRI results were compared to MFM results.
