Indirect ultrastructural muscle injury (Type 1B: Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)). The MRI demonstrates a widespread intramuscular oedema corresponding to a raise in T2 signal intensity. a: Axial T2-weighted TIRM (Turbo-Inversion Recovery-Magnitude) sequence (total acquisition time, 3:31 min; inversion time, 260 ms; echo time, 69 ms; repetition time, 5120 ms; flip angle, 145°; resolution, 0.8 × 0.8 × 4.0 mm). b: coronal T2-weighted TIRM sequence (total acquisition time, 3:42 min; inversion time, 260 ms; echo time, 68 ms; repetition time, 5120 ms; flip angle, 180°; resolution, 0.9 × 0.9 × 4.0 mm).
