50-year-old man with a history of hepatitis C and cirrhosis Axial in-phase and out-of-phase 2D SPGR images (Figure 5.17.1) show a cirrhotic liver with moderate splenomegaly. The spleen contains multiple hypointense nodules that show signal loss on in-phase images relative to out-of-phase images. The low-signal-intensity lesions are also seen on axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted image (...

46-year-old woman with history of appendiceal goblet cell carcinoid, resected 3 years previously, who underwent MRI to assess for hepatic metastases Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 11.18.1) and sagittal fat-suppressed 2D SSFP image (Figure 11.18.2) reveal a large, mildly heterogeneous mass in the central pelvis superior to the uterus with diffusely high signal intensity and a few scattered cystic components. Axial diffusion-weighted image (b=800 s/mm...

37-year-old woman with a history of neurofibromatosis and menometrorrhagia Sagittal fat-suppressed 3D FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 8.11.1) and axial 2D fat-suppressed FSE images (Figure 8.11.2) reveal masslike thickening of the posterior and superior bladder walls, with relatively low signal intensity. Sagittal arterial phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR image (...

75-year-old woman with a history of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli Coronal SSFSE (Figure 1.27.1) and axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.27.2) images reveal a large exophytic mass projecting inferiorly from the right hepatic lobe, with a few scattered foci of mildly increased signal intensity. Axial diffusion-weighted image (b=400 s/mm...

57-year-old man with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.24.1) and diffusion-weighted (b=100 s/mm2) (Figure 1.24.2) images demonstrate a peripheral right hepatic lobe mass that has mildly increased signal intensity relative to adjacent liver. Notice the higher signal intensity and greater contrast on the diffusion-weighted image (b=100 s/mm...

68-year-old man with a history of prostatectomy for prostate adenocarcinoma, increasing nocturnal urinary frequency, and rising PSA level Sagittal FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 8.17.1) obtained using an endorectal coil shows a large lobulated mass in the posterior bladder wall extending superiorly to the dome and inferiorly to the vesicourethral junction. The mass has high signal intensity on an axial diffusion-weighted image (b=1,000 s/mm...

72-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer and new posterior right buttock pain Axial (Figure 14.1.1) and coronal oblique (Figure 14.1.2) T1-weighted images and axial (Figure 14.1.3) and coronal oblique (Figure 14.1.4) fat-suppressed T2-weighted FSE images demonstrate a linear defect in the right side of the sacrum with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and mildly increased T2-signal intensity. Axial diffusion-weighted image (b=800 s/mm...

72-year-old man with left flank pain and a history of bleeding diathesis, for which he takes warfarin Axial FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 7.29.1) reveals a posterior left perinephric mass with heterogeneous increased signal intensity. Axial diffusion- weighted image (b=800 s/mm2) and the corresponding ADC map (...

We present a case of a solitary neurofibroma of the floor of the mouth protruding into the submandibular region. A 51-year-old female presented with a 2-year history of swelling of the floor of the mouth. MRI revealed that the mass measuring  mm showed a homogenous, low signal intensity on a T1-weighted image and high signal intensity on a T2-weighted image. The tumor was completely removed through a cervical approach. Cases of a solitary neurofibroma originating from the floor of the mouth are extremely rare.

51-year-old man with a history of metastatic melanoma Axial precontrast 3D SPGR images (Figure 17.25.1) reveal multiple T1 hyperintense lesions throughout the liver, representing melanoma metastases. Note also geographic decreased signal intensity in the left hepatic lobe, likely representing fibrotic changes from previous radiotherapy. Many of the lesions are more difficult to visualize on equilibrium phase images obtained 20 minutes after gadoxetate disodium (Eovist) administration (...

20-year-old woman with a history of hemoglobinopathy Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 5.14.1) and axial in-phase SPGR image (Figure 5.14.2) show a small spleen with decreased T2-signal intensity and markedly decreased signal on the in-phase image. Axial postgadolinium 2D SPGR image (...
