Magnetic resonance imaging in focal myositis.
[focal myositis]
We
describe
4
cases
of
focal
myositis
of
the
lower
leg
in
which
magnetic
resonance
imaging
(
MRI
)
was
useful
and
sensitive
in
clearly
revealing
the
detailed
anatomic
extent
of
muscle
change
and
in
guiding
muscle
biopsy
.
We
also
observed
a
correlation
between
MRI
findings
and
severity
of
both
clinical
and
histological
manifestations
,
suggesting
that
MRI
may
provide
prognostic
criteria
in
focal
myositis
.
MRI
may
be
a
helpful
,
noninvasive
test
for
the
followup
of
focal
myositis
,
in
assessing
disease
progression
or
resolution
.
