UniScience.Info Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Signal in MR images is high or low (bright or dark), depending on the pulse sequence used, and the type of tissue in the image region of interest. The following is a general guide to how tissue appears on T1- or T2- weighted images. Dark on T1-weighted image: increased water, as in edema, tumor, infarction, inflammation, infection, hemorrhage (hyperacute or chronic) low proton density, calcification flow void Bright on T1-weighted image: fat subacute hemorrhage melanin protein-rich fluid slowly flowing blood paramagnetic substances: gadolinium, manganese, copper calcification (rarely) laminar necrosis of cerebral infarction Bright on T2-weighted image: increased water, as in edema, tumor, infarction, inflammation, infection, subdural collection methemoglobin (extracellular) in subacute hemorrhage Dark on T2-weighted image: low proton density, calcification, fibrous tissue paramagnetic substances: deoxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin (intracellular), iron, ferritin, hemosiderin, melanin protein-rich fluid flow void source : http://www.med.harvard.edu/AANLIB/basicsMR.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
