Intracranial Lesions with Low Signal Intensity on T2-Weighted MR Images - Review of Pathologies Pol J Radiol 80:40-50, Zimny, A.,et al, 2015 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In this article we presented intracranial pathological substances and lesions with low signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Eight groups of substances were discussed i.e. 1. Gadolinium-based contrast materials, 2. Hemoglobin degradation products 3. Melanin, 4. Mucuos - or - protein-containing lesions, 5. Highly cellular lesions, 6. Lesions containing mineral substances such as: calcium, copper and iron, 7. Turbulent and rapid blood or CSF flow 8. Air-containing spaces. Appropriate interpretation of signal intensity as well as analysis of lesion location and clinical symptoms enable a correct choice of a further diagnostic algorithm or, in many cases, final diagnosis based exclusively on an MRI examination.
