A) Axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted image shows enlargement and increase signal intensity of the vastus lateralis muscles (*) and rectus femoris (open white arrow). There is fluid in subcutaneous tissue and intermuscular fascia (black arrow). B) Axial fat-suppressed gadolinium-enhance T1-weighted image shows areas of diffuse enhancement of the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris. There is focal rim enhancement with a low-signal-intensity center within the vastus lateralis (white arrow) suggestive of muscle necrosis.
