<h4>Introduction</h4>Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to monitor changes in the transverse relaxation time constant (T2) in lower hindlimb muscles of mdx mice at different ages.<h4>Methods</h4>Young (5 weeks), adult (44 weeks), and old mdx (96 weeks), and age-matched control mice were studied.
