Overview
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy. Findings on MRI suggestive of lymphadenopathy include negative enhancement that is showed as decreased T1 and T2 signal intensity.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be helpful in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy. MRI has made superior soft-tissue contrast and resolution an important tool in the oncology imaging armamentarium, offering staging knowledge that predicts prognosis, directs therapy selection, and evaluates response to treatment. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of lymphadenopathy include:[1][2][3]
- Negative enhancement that is showed as decreased T1 and T2 signal intensity
