MRI patterns of thigh muscle involvement in immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy and dermatomyositis
DM and IMNM affect disparate thigh muscles on MRI. DM preferentially affects the anterior thigh, semitendinosus and BF-SH in the posterior thigh, and gracilis in the medial thigh, whereas IMNM preferentially affects the posterior thigh (semimembranosus and BF-LH) and adductors in the medial thigh.
