STIR + muscles with confluent regions of fat at baseline increased more in fat, while STIR- muscles had increases in septal-fat over the study period. These changes may reflect two phases of FSHD, demonstrating MRI sensitivity is weighted toward gross pathological phases of the disease. Muscle Nerve 57: 905-912, 2018.
