The T1-maps corresponding to a different grades of fat infiltration on T1-weighted images (T1WI) of gluteus maximus (white arrow in the left column) in different DMD patients: Mercuri scale 1 → T1 = 1391.21 ms, Mercuri scale 2 → T1 = 1149.51 ms, Mercuri scale 3 → T1 = 885.64 ms, Mercuri scale 4 → T1 = 223.03 ms (a). The T1-maps corresponding to different grade of fat infiltration on T1WI of adductor magnus (white arrow in right column): Mercuri scale 1 → T1 = 1344.84 ms, Mercuri scale 2 → T1 = 1171.86 ms, Mercuri scale 3 → T1 = 885.79 ms, Mercuri scale 4 → T1 = 234.74 ms (b). The box plots showed that the T1-value of gluteus maximus (c) and T1-value of adductor magnus (d) decreased with the increase of fat infiltration grade
