Iliopsoas muscles: MR study of normal anatomy and disease

JC Weinreb, JM Cohen and KR Maravilla

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed on 15 healthy subjects to define the appearance of the iliopsoas muscle and on 15 patients with iliopsoas disease. Seven patients had tumorous involvement of the muscles, five had inflammatory disease, one had retroperitoneal hemorrhage, one had iliopsoas bursitis, and one had bilateral hypertrophy. MR imaging permitted delineation of the muscles and depiction of the disease condition. Transverse MR images alone almost always provided the necessary data to determine the origin and extent of disease. Sagittal images were occasionally useful in defining the extension of disease into the spine. T1-weighted images provided optimal contrast between the muscles and adjacent tissues, while T2- weighted images were more useful for depicting disease within the muscles themselves.
