Scatterplot between the semi-quantitative assessment of T1 (atrophy) and STIR (muscle oedema): the size of the circle displays the number of muscle regions. Most muscle regions showed no atrophy (T1 = 0) and no oedema (STIR = 0). As atrophy increases so does muscular oedema, but only up to a score of T1 = 2. From there, further atrophy is associated with less oedema. Of note, some muscles showing no atrophy (T1 = 0) already exhibited oedema, possibly an early sign of affected muscle
