The newly evaluated imaging biomarkers related with water mobility (wT1) and ion homeostasis (TSC, IR, TQF) showed different patterns compared to the established markers like FF in muscles of FSHD patients. These quantitative biomarkers could thus contain valuable complementary information for the early characterization of disease progression.
