Reason: Eval for myositis History: weakness, elevated CK Right thigh: The signal intensity within the musculature is within normal limits, without evidence of myositis or frank atrophy. The remaining soft tissues are unremarkable. The bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits. Mild osteoarthritis affects the hip and knee joints.Left thigh: A small, elongated collection of fat signal intensity within the distal semimembranosus may represent a small lipoma, otherwise, the signal intensity of the musculature is normal. The signal intensity within the remaining soft tissues and bone marrow is unremarkable. Mild osteoarthritis affects the hip and knee joint.The signal intensity of the prostate gland is heterogeneous, compatible with BPH; please note, however, that this study was not protocoled for detailed assessment of the prostate gland, including detection of prostate cancer. There are small bilateral hydroceles.
Essentially normal-appearing muscles, without evidence of myositis or frank atrophy. Other findings as above.
