52-year-old man with a hereditary disorder Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 14.10.1) demonstrate multiple exophytic lesions extending from the right and left iliac bones and the right femoral neck. All the lesions have a thin outer margin with high signal intensity. Axial T1-weighted FSE images (...

30-year-old woman with a history of neurofibromatosis and a painful right thigh mass Axial (Figure 14.17.1A) and coronal (Figure 14.17.1B) FSE T1-weighted images and axial (Figure 14.17.2A) and coronal (Figure 14.17.2B) fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images reveal a large heterogeneous mass in the right pelvis extending into the groin with high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and regions of low and high signal intensity on T1-weighted images. Axial (...

3-year-old girl with a chest wall mass that her mother noticed Axial (Figure 13.6.1) and coronal (Figure 13.6.2) FSE T2-weighted images demonstrate a large heterogeneous mass that has multiple regions of high signal intensity and occupies much of the left hemothorax. Note involvement of the lateral chest wall and a lower rib best seen on the coronal images....

63-year-old female potential kidney donor with an indeterminate liver mass Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.9.1) and SSFP (Figure 1.9.2) images demonstrate a focal lesion with high signal intensity in the right hepatic lobe. Diffusion-weighted image (b=600 s/mm2) and corresponding ADC map (...

75-year-old man with right upper quadrant pain Axial fat-suppressed dual echo FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 1.7.1) reveal a lobulated mass in the right hepatic lobe with diffuse high signal intensity. Note that on the dual echo images, there is little signal loss between the first (TE, 80 ms) and second (TE, 160 ms) echoes. Axial arterial, portal venous, equilibrium, and 5-minute delayed phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...

Ejaculatory duct cysts are a rare type of prostatic cysts. We report 3 cases of symptomatic ejaculatory duct cysts which have been explored by MR imaging. The MR findings were round or oval masses, medial or paramedial in the prostatic gland above the level of the verumontanum, extending into the prostatic base. They displayed a low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images (2 cases) or high signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images (1 case). The diagnosis was confirmed by an ultrasonographically guided transperineal aspiration demonstrating spermatozoa in the cyst fluid.

Soft tissue sarcomas are investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) both for initial staging and follow-up. We describe the presence of increased signal on T2-weighted images caused by a neurotized muscle flap following reconstructive surgery. This raised concern about possible sarcoma recurrence that was not clinically evident. On post-operative imaging of sarcomas the presence of recurrent tumour is indicated by a mass and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. However, high signal changes in skeletal muscle on T2-weighted images are not specific. In this case, the free functioning muscle transfer with neurotization of the flap mimicked recurrence on MR scan. High signal intensity on T2-weighted images in muscle is an indication of either a physiological change or a pathological condition and must be taken in context of the clinical picture.

17-year-old male adolescent with intermittent testicular pain; CT from another medical facility demonstrated a pelvic mass Axial FSE T1-weighted images (Figure 14.22.1) and fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 14.22.2) demonstrate a large heterogeneous pelvic mass with regions of high signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images and a more solid-appearing component posteriorly. Axial postgadolinium 2D SPGR images (...

54-year-old woman with medullary thyroid carcinoma Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 13.9.1) demonstrate nodular soft tissue thickening of the pleura at the right lung base. Diffusion-weighted image (b=600 s/mm2) (Figure 13.9.2) reveals high-signal-intensity pleural lesions and focal lesions in the left hepatic lobe and thoracic spine, which are more conspicuous than in the T2-weighted images. Axial postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...
