Findings on serial thigh MRI can identify individuals with inflammatory myositis who recover sub-optimally: A 6-month follow-up study
Thigh MRI correlated with clinical outcomes both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Higher baseline muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration, and higher muscle oedema at 3 months predict suboptimal clinical outcomes at 6 months. Intramuscular fatty infiltration scores on thigh MRI did not correlate with lower limb fat indices but correlated with overall fat indices on DXA scan.
