[Location] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

MRI

  • MRI is the imaging modality of choice for pleomorphic adenoma.[1]
  • On T1-weighted images:
    • Pleomorphic adenoma's show homogeneous intensity. [2]
  • On T2-weighted images:
    • Marked hyperintensity reflects abundant myxochondroid stroma.[3]
    • Hypointensity reflects the fibrous capsule.[3]
  • On Gd-T1weighted images:
    • It shows heterogeneous enhancement.[2]
