Modern medical imaging technics as ultrasound and computerized tomographies with X-rays, nuclear magnetic resonance or ultrasound permit the representation of soft tissues including muscles. For muscular dystrophies, these diagnostic methods may allow a more detailed staging and evaluation of single muscle groups. The value for Duchenne carrier detection has meanwhile been proven.
