Abstract
The temporal development of neck muscle fatty infiltrates (MFI) on conventional magnetic resonance imaging applications has been shown to be associated with specific aspects of pain and psychological factors following whiplash from a motor vehicle collision (MVC). Such findings do not occur in those reporting full recovery following an MVC, idiopathic neck pain or healthy controls, suggesting traumatic factors influence changes in muscle structure. As these findings have been observed uniquely in an Australian cohort, replication in another culture (United States) is warranted before definitive prognostic conclusions can be drawn.
