Abstrakt: Atraumatic muscle disorders comprise a very wide range of skeletal muscle diseases, including metabolic, inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious, ischemic, and neoplastic involvement of the muscles. Therefore, one must take clinical and laboratory data into consideration to elucidate the differential diagnoses, as well as the distribution of the muscle compromise along the body-whether isolated or distributed along the body in a symmetric or asymmetrical fashion. Assessment of muscular disorders often requires imaging investigation before image-guided biopsy or more invasive procedures; therefore, radiologists should understand the advantages and limitations of imaging methods for proper lesion evaluation and be aware of the imaging features of such disorders, thus contributing to proper decision-making and good patient outcomes. In this review, we propose a systematic approach for the assessment of muscle disorders based on their main imaging presentation, dividing them into patterns that can be easily recognized.
