Fig. 1.
Examples of the mid-femur transverse view of T2 weighted fat suppresed images in a control dog (upper panel) and in a GRMD dog (lower panel) at 3, 6 and 9 months of age. The images are displayed in the same scale, reflecting relative size. The GRMD dog has limited muscle volume growth and muscles are angulated. There are areas of marked intramuscular heterogenenous hyperintensity in GRMD dogs. The arrows indictate severely afffected muscles such as the GR (gracilis), BF (biceps femoris) and ST (semitendinosus).
