Abstract
Purpose of review Imaging techniques such as MRI, ultrasound and PET/computed tomography (CT) have roles in the detection, diagnosis and management of myositis or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Imaging research has also provided valuable knowledge in the understanding of the pathology of IIM. This review explores the latest advancements of these imaging modalities in IIM. Recent findings Recent advancements in imaging of IIM have seen a shift away from manual and qualitative analysis of the images. Quantitative MRI provides more objective, and potentially more sensitive characterization of fat infiltration and inflammation in muscles. In addition to B-mode ultrasound changes, shearwave elastography offers a new dimension to investigating IIM. PET/CT has the added advantage of including IIM-associated findings such as malignancies. Summary It is evident that MRI, ultrasound and PET/CT have important roles in myositis. Continued technological advancement and a quest for more sophisticated applications help drive innovation; this has especially been so of machine learning/deep learning using artificial intelligence and the developing promise of texture analysis.
