Future of NCS/EMG in era of MRI
Hi all,
I have noticed increasing use of MRI for evaluation of muscle weakness by my colleagues including often myself.
As a neurophysiologist, I can appreciate the information on EMG that is not appreciable on MRI, however I am keen to know what others thoughts are re what future for EMG would look like if whole body muscle MRI is easily available to look for pattern of denervation/myopathy.
Also, does anyone have any suggestions re: uptodate re: interpreting muscle MRI's and its limitations.
Thank you,
Gaurav Singh

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
