To determine if short TI (time to inversion) recovery (STIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in assessing lower extremity (LE) denervation in subacute lumbar radiculopathy (LR), 25 subjects underwent lumbar spine MRI, LE STIR MRI and needle electromyography (EMG). In 23 (92%) subjects the
