Muscle MRI studies. Axial ( A-E ) and coronal ( H ) T1-weighted MRI shows asymmetric amyotrophy and marked fatty replacement involving bilateral vastus lateralis, right vastus intermedius, left biceps femoris, right vastus medialis, left tibialis anterior, and bilateral heads of gastrocnemius. Axial ( F,G ) and coronal ( I,J ) STIR MRI shows hyperintensity involving right vastus lateralis and tibialis anterior.
