Axial T1-weighted bilateral thigh MR images (IMAGE)
Caption
Axial T1-weighted bilateral thigh MR images and magnified frames providing a closer look at the areas in lateral aspects of quadriceps femoris muscles (knee extensors) from two obese, female participants, aged 58 (A) and 62 years (B), respectively. In A, the thigh muscles on both sides demonstrate abundant fatty streaks, consistent with a high Goutallier grade of 45 for this participant, whose diet from the past 12 months consisted 68% of ultra-processed foods. In B, the thigh muscles show fewer fatty streaks as highlighted in the magnified image, consistent with a low Goutallier grade of 17 for this participant, whose diet contained only 36% ultra-processed foods.
