The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of intra-abdominal tumors is necessary for clinical practice. MR imaging involves the optimal evaluation of masses due to its inherent soft tissue contrast and multiplanar scanning abilities. T2 low-signal tumors are not common, and individuals need to be careful when interpreting them.The tumors that contain smooth muscle components, a high nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio, or papillary architecture, among other components, tend to display low signal intensity on T2-weighted images. MR imaging allows for both the detection and characterization of tumors, especially when they have low signal intensity when presented on T2-weighted images. As a result, it becomes essential to identify the various characteristics that define each tumor.Identification of the tumor spectrum and knowing the cause of low signal intensity on T2 -weighted images helps the radiologist to narrow the differential diagnosis and reach a final diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
