31-year-old man with abdominal pain
Axial diffusion-weighted images (b=100 s/mm2) (Figure 2.18.1) reveal no normal hepatic veins, prominent collateral veins in the periphery of the liver, and a small tangle of collateral vessels anterior to the IVC. Notice also small, hyperintense filling defects in diminutive hepatic veins (confirmed on postgadolinium images). Coronal fat-suppressed 2D SSFP image (...
43-year-old woman with a uterine mass
Axial fat-suppressed SSFP image (Figure 10.20.1) reveals a large, predominantly cystic mass in the uterine fundus that contains peripheral nodular soft tissue components. The soft tissue rim has high signal intensity on axial DWI (b=800 s/mm...
33-year-old man with a 13-year history of Crohn disease and recent episodes of abdominal pain and cramping
Coronal SSFSE images (Figure 9.11.1) show thickening and narrowing of the terminal ileum. Fat-suppressed axial SSFP image (Figure 9.11.2) reveals no mural edema in this region, and an axial oblique reformatted 3D SPGR image (...
74-year-old woman with hypertension; a dilated aorta was noted on chest CT
SSFP images obtained at end systole through the aortic valve in transverse (Figure 13.19.1) and coronal oblique (Figure 13.19.2) orientations demonstrate a tricuspid aortic valve with minimal excursion of the valve leaflets. Axial SSFP image at the level of the right main pulmonary artery (...
25-year-old man with multiple episodes of pleuritic chest pain
Short-axis SSFP image (Figure 13.14.1) reveals a small, predominantly inferior pericardial effusion, a small left pleural effusion, and left base atelectasis. Short-axis and horizontal long-axis LGE inversion recovery T1-weighted images (Figure 13.14.2...
45-year-old woman with a cardiac abnormality that was noted incidentally on abdominal CT
Axial double (Figure 13.13.1) and triple (Figure 13.13.2) inversion recovery FSE images and axial SSFP image (Figure 13.13.3) demonstrate an ovoid cystic lesion containing simple fluid along the left heart border....
