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.

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...

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...

Synovial cysts of the cervical spine are extremely rare. We describe an 8-year-old boy with atlantoaxial subluxation and hypoplasia of the dens. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a round lesion, posterior to the odontoid process. This mass was characterized by a low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. The retrodental synovial cyst disappeared after posterior atlantoaxial arthrodesis.

The use of a 1.5 tesla superconducting M.R. imager and surface coil was found to enhance the ability of M.R.I, to depict the fine anatomy of the wrist. Five healthy volunteers and 28 patients with scaphoid fractures underwent M.R.I., which made possible a definitive diagnosis of scaphoid fractures at an early stage. A fresh fracture was identified by decreased or iso signal intensity on the T1-weighted image and increased signal intensity on the T2-weighted image. This increase continued until bony union was apparent on radiographs. On the T2-weighted image, high signal intensity was characteristic of fresh fractures and suggested that bony union was possible. When bony union was complete, the intensity of the signal for the scaphoid on both T1 and T2-weighted images returned to normal. M.R.I. should thus prove useful in the diagnosis of scaphoid fractures.

70-year-old man with newly diagnosed prostate cancer; prostate MRI was requested for preoperative staging Axial FSE T1-weighted image (Figure 17.2.1) and sagittal FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 17.2.2) demonstrate a normally functioning endorectal prostate coil with high signal intensity along the margin of the coil, dropping off as the distance from the coil increases. Axial pregadolinium (...

68-year-old man with hematuria Axial T2-weighted (Figure 8.16.1) and T1-weighted (Figure 8.16.2) FSE images, axial diffusion-weighted image (b=800 s/mm2) (Figure 8.16.3), and sagittal T2-weighted FSE image (Figure 8.16.4) demonstrate marked heterogeneous thickening of the posterior and lateral bladder walls, with high signal intensity on the diffusion-weighted image. The mass has extended posteriorly to invade and encase the seminal vesicles and prostate. Note also a large filling defect present in the bladder lumen, with a hyperintense rim on the T1-weighted image....
