Figure 2. Coronal pre- and postcontrast (*) T1-weighted spin-echo MR images (100/10) acquired 24 hours (A, A*), 7 days (B, B*), 14 days (C, C*), and 3 months (D, D*) after muscle ischemia induction. T1-weighted images were acquired on the same sections as the T2-weighted images in Figure 1 before and approximately 2 minutes after contrast material administration. Gadopentetate dimeglumine strongly enhances the signal intensity of the affected area (arrows).
