Abstrakt: To determine whether computerised tomography (CT) offers an accurate means of following the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, CT scans through the thigh and calf were done on two occasions, six months apart, for 13 boys with the disease. The results suggest that CT scans of muscles may be used as an adjunct to other methods in the accurate assessment of progression.
