Abstract
Although T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was reported to be useful for depicting rhabdomyolysis lesions, little is known as to the usefulness of gadolinium‐enhanced T1‐weighted imaging. The authors performed noncontrast and postcontrast T1‐weighted MRI along with T2‐weighted MRI in a patient with rhabdomyolysis in the chronic phase. Noncontrast T1‐weighted imaging revealed no abnormality, whereas postcontrast T1‐weighted imaging demonstrated lesions more definitively than T2‐weighted imaging. Gadolinium‐enhancement study may contribute to the MRI diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis.
