Baudrez, Galant, and VandeBerg found that MRI appearance is dictated by histology of the tumor-like lesion—Vascularity, interstitial edema, and interspersed fat. [15] The presence of high or moderate signal intensity on both T1 and T2 images is related to the ratio of fat to vessels and edema.
On X-ray, giant-cell tumors (GCTs) are lytic/lucent lesions that have an epiphyseal location and grow to the articular surface of the involved bone. [8] Radiologically the tumors may show characteristic 'soap bubble' appearance. [9] They are distinguishable from other bony tumors in that GCTs usually have a nonsclerotic and sharply defined border.

Magnetic resonance myelography (MR myelography or MRI myelography) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that can provide anatomic information about the subarachnoid space. It is a type of MRI examination that uses a contrast medium and magnetic resonance imaging scanner to detect pathology of the spinal cord , including the location of a ...
Modic changes are observed on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans. Bone oedema in other bones is not categorized into different types, but Dr. Michael Modic was the first to classify, describe and define Modic changes into three types. The different types were first described and defined in 1988. [39]
In radiology, a Romanus lesion is the erosion of the anterior and posterior vertebral endplates in patients with an inflammatory spondyloarthropathy – such as ankylosing spondylitis or an enteropathic arthropathy.
Finally, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed for even better depiction of the spine and soft tissue abnormalities in particular. Again, a novel acronym was proposed to classify patients without traumatic signs using radiographs, CT and MRI. The term spinal cord injury without neuroimaging abnormality (SCIWONA) was used.
It is called tumefactive as the lesions are "tumor-like" and they mimic tumors clinically, radiologically and sometimes pathologically. [1] These atypical lesion characteristics include a large intracranial lesion of size greater than 2.0 cm with a mass effect, edema and an open ring enhancement. A mass effect is the effect of a mass on its ...
