GRE T2-Weighted MRI: Principles and Clinical Applications

Figure 8

A 48-year-old female with an invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. The T2 -PWI (a2) reveals a round and hyperintense lesion. The time to signal intensity curves (b2) and corresponding color maps (c2-d2) were derived from T2 -PWI. The maximum signal drop rate derived from postprocessing software is 43.90%. The pathology of the lesion is shown in the ductal carcinoma (e2-f2).
