Overview

Findings on MRI suggestive of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma include lower signal intensity for loculi with watery mucin on T1-weighted images.

Key MRI Findings in Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma

  • T1
  • The signal intensity of mucin on T1-weighted images varies depending on the degree of mucin concentration.
  • On T1-weighted images, loculi with watery mucin have a lower signal intensity than loculi with thicker mucin.
  • T2
  • On T2-weighted images, the corresponding signal intensities are flipped, so that loculi with watery mucin have high signal intensity and loculi with thicker mucin appear slightly hypointense.
