Fig. 2

Representative images of an athlete with grade 2 injury in the right biceps femoris long head muscle. a T2-weighted images used for injury grading. The red line indicates the slice identified by a radiologist as containing the primary location of the injury. The axial image of this slice is shown. b Parameter maps of the same axial slice of the MD at baseline with both fitting methods (high-b DTI and IVIM-corrected DTI) as well as for the standard and MB-accelerated scans. The segmentations of the injured and healthy muscles are overlaid in red and green, respectively. MD, Mean diffusivity; MB, Multiband
