Breast lesions with high signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images

Jpn J Radiol. 2013 Oct;31(10):653-61. doi: 10.1007/s11604-013-0239-z. Epub 2013 Aug 30.

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast supplies much information concerning the signal characteristics of a lesion. Among these, high signal intensity on non-fat saturated T1-weighted imaging (WI) is a special finding. Such a finding may result from different causes, such as a paramagnetic substance or fatty, bloody or proteinaceous content. In this article, we present hyperintense breast lesions on T1-WI.
