Overview
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI uses magnetic fields but it is a different type of image than what is produced by computed tomography (CT) and produces detailed images of the body.
MRI
MRI is usually used in those with suspected vascular invasion in which iodine contrast cannot be tolerated (allergies and renal problems).
Features of MRI
- Isotense to skeletal muscle onT1WI.
- Increased heterogeneous signal intensity on T2WI.
- Fluid characteristics of cysts with high water content.
