摘要: Introduction: In 10-20% of patients with subacute- onset idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), muscle biopsy is normal or shows nonspecific findings. MRI can be used as a tri- age test before and an add-on if the nondiagnostic. Methods: scans skeletal muscles biopsies were evaluated prospectively in 48 suspected to have IIM. The interpretations compared definite diagnosis (based on European Neuromuscular Centre criteria response corticosteroids). Results: false negative rate (FNR) all was 0.23. Biopsies showing hyperintensity (as triage test) had FNR 0.19. result nondiagnostic decreased from 0.23 0.06. Conclusions: We recommend both having Muscle Nerve 51: 253-258, 2015 Adult subacute-onset myopathies (IIM) are subclassified into polymyosi- tis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), myo- sitis (NSM), necrotizing autoimmune
