Hypothesis-generating for gadolinium-enhanced T1 imaging in chronic rhabdomyolysis; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
Does gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI improve the depiction of lesions compared to noncontrast T1-weighted and T2-weighted MRI in a patient with rhabdomyolysis?
Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI may be more useful than T2-weighted or noncontrast T1-weighted imaging for diagnosing rhabdomyolysis in the chronic phase.
Kakuda et al. (1999) studied this question.
