Figure 2

Representative anatomical (A) and T2-weighted (B) axial images of murine thigh muscles. The high resolution anatomical fast-spin-echo image (A) was used to define regions of interest in vastus lateralis (VL) muscle in the healthy-control tissue (black arrowhead) and the inflamed tissue (white arrowhead); near the site of the subcutaneous λ-Carrageenan injection. The edematous muscle has elevated signal on T2-weighted (TR/TE = 2 s/54 ms) images (B). Pooling of fluid outside of the muscle compartment on the side of inflammation was commonly observed (A and B). The T2 of this fluid was very high, and so this fluid presented with high signal in all images.
