• MR relaxometry parameters applied to the myocardium and skeletal muscles are highly useful to separate IIM patients from healthy controls. • Different tissue composition and vascularization should be taken into account for T1 and T2 mapping parameter interpretation. • ΔT1 and EHF may be simple alternatives to ECV in highly vascularized tissues such as the myocardium.
