Figure 2. DENSE imaging plane and high-resolution images of the BFLH.

Figure 2

The DENSE imaging plane was defined on axial plane high-resolution turbo spin-echo images (A), such that the plane included muscle tissue adjacent to the proximal aponeurosis of the BFLH muscle, the muscle belly, and the distal aponeurosis. Prior to DENSE image acquisition, a high-resolution image was obtained in the oblique-coronal DENSE imaging plane to verify the position of the BFLH and the inclusion of the aponeuroses (B). Proximal aponeurosis width measurements were taken directly on axial-plane images (C).
