For anyone interested in myofascial trigger points:
It's great that a taut band can be identified within a muscle using MRI. This supports the work that has been going on for decades in the US and possibly a more than a thousand years in Asia.
These irritable bands may also be found by palpation and released by a number of techniques.
Perhaps with some funding some taut bands could be located, imaged and then treated before a follow up image!
