This study assesses diagnostic methods for mitochondrial disorders, focusing on brain and muscle metabolism. Understanding the benefits and drawbacks of each technique is crucial for accurate evaluation and patient follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Mitochondrial disorders frequently impact brain and muscle metabolism.
  • These conditions present with a wide spectrum of functional impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the diagnostic utility of various physiological and imaging methods for mitochondrial disorders.
  • To assess the functional information provided by these methods for patient monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Lactate level measurements
  • Exercise testing
  • Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)
  • Proton MRS
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
  • Positron emission tomography (PET)
