Fig. 1 This figure shows the arrangement of the muscle fibers as well as the connective tissue (endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium) surrounding the muscle fiber, bundles of muscle fiber, and the…
Fig. 1 a The two common acquisition sequences free induction decay and spin echo together with, b a synthetic spectrum with definitions of the major parts. If the spectrum has been…
where L is the length in the ‘deformed’ state. Strain is dimensionless and represents the fractional or percentage change in dimension. It is also possible to define the instantaneous strain…
Fig. 1 Typical myotonic bursts on conventional electromyographic examination performed with a concentric EMG needle. The bursts consist of repetitive muscle action potentials that typically show a modulation of amplitude…
Fig. 1 BOLD MRI of the brain showing activation in motor gyrus as response to a finger tapping task. BOLD imaging in this patient with a low grade glioma was performed…
Fig. 1 Axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted images obtained from whole-body MRI protocol in a 37-year-old woman a and a 16-year-old boy with myotonic dystrophy type 1. Please note the dilatation of the…
Fig. 1 Axial spectral presaturation with inversion recovery image of the thigh with more or less symmetric hyperintensities of mainly the anterior compartment in DM. Fat suppression is not uniform over…
