Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to follow the course of juvenile dermatomyositis from the onset of disease through resolution of a primary relapse. The signal intensity of the T2-weighted image of involved muscles was elevated during periods of disease activity, and returned to approximately normal levels with effective suppression of disease activity. T1-weighted images of involved muscles remained approximately normal despite disease activity.
