Overview
MRI scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. Findings on MRI scan suggestive of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 include intermediate to low signal at T1 and hyperintense signal at T2 suggesting parathyroid hyperplasia.
MRI
Parathyroid Carcinoma
- MRI is infrequently utilized in initial work up because of lower spatial resolution and artifacts. Adenomas can show variable signal intensity on MRI. Reported signal characteristics include:[1]
- T1
- Typically intermediate to low signal
- Subacute hemorrhage can cause high signal intensity[2]
- Fibrosis or old hemorrhage can cause low signal intensity
- T2
- Typically hyperintense
- Subacute hemorrhage can cause high signal intensity
- Fibrosis or old hemorrhage can cause low signal intensity
- Since most lesions demonstrate high T2 signal intensity, the addition of contrast for MRI scanning does not significantly increase detection.
Pheochromocytoma
- MRI is the most sensitive modality for identification of pheochromocytomas, and is particularly useful in cases of extra-adrenal location. The overall sensitivity is said to be 98%.[3][1]
- T1
- Slightly hypointense to the remainder of the adrenal
- If necrotic and/or hemorrhagic then signal will be more heterogeneous
- T2
- Markedly hyperintense (lightbulb sign)
- Areas of necrosis/hemorrhage/calcification will alter signal
- T1 C+ (Gd)
- Heterogenous enhancement
- Enhancement is prolonged, persisting for as long as 50 minutes[4]
