Implication

Imaging study reveals post-running upper leg muscle changes in runners, indicating diffusion-tensor imaging detects microstructural damage missed by standard T2-weighted scans.

Key Points

To establish a comprehensive diffusion-tensor imaging method for the upper leg and detect temporal post-exercise muscle changes compared to conventional MRI.
Developed a single-session diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) protocol covering frequently injured upper leg muscles, including the hamstrings.
Tracked temporal muscle changes post-running using DTI alongside qualitative fat-suppressed T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
DTI parameters successfully demonstrated temporal microstructural changes in upper leg muscles following long-distance running.
Qualitative T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with fat suppression failed to detect these time-dependent muscle alterations.
