Figure 1. Cross-sectional comparisons of MRI T2 between corticosteroid-treated and corticosteroid-naive boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Figure 1

Comparison of T2 by imaging in the lower leg muscles (A) and thigh muscles (B) of boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) on corticosteroid treatment (CS) and corticosteroid-naive boys (CS-naive). T2 values were lower in all the muscles examined in boys with DMD on corticosteroid therapy except for the gracilis (Gra) muscle. Values are represented as mean ± SEM; **p ≤ 0.01 and *p ≤ 0.05. BFLH = biceps femoris long head; MG = medial gastrocnemius; Per = peroneals; Sol = soleus; TA = tibialis anterior; TP = tibialis posterior; VL = vastus lateralis.
