Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Muscle in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Neurol 51:110-113, Bryan,W.W.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Muscle MRI was abnormal by visual inspection in six of 11 patients.The mean muscle T1 time and muscle volume were not different in patients compared with normal control subjects(p>0.1).However,the mean T2 times were not different in patients compared with normal control subjects(p>0. 1).However,the mean T2 times were increased in the patients compared with normal control subjects(p=0.009).Of the MRI characteristics studied,T2 relaxation time was the best indicator of motor neuron dysfunction and may have a role in objective evaluation of motor neuron dysfunction.
