Can an MRI differentiate between granulation tissue and fibrosis?

Usually it can because fibrosis will be dark on T1 and T2 weighted sequences (except in the liver). Granulation tissue is variable but not dark on both, and is vascularized, so it will enhace early after contrast administration. Fibrosis only enhances late after contrast administration.

Is fibrosis and granulation tissue the same thing?
No, fibrosis is the abnormal accumulation of fibrin causing adhesions while granulation tissue consists of active fibroblasts along with inflammatory cells, angiogenesis (creation of new blood vessels) and raw/exposed nerves.
What is the difference between a Residual tumor and granulation tissue?
The difference between the two is that granulation tissue is tissue that forms in the process of wound healing while residual tumor is either a benign or malignant growth that is still present after some type of tumor removal surgery. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the two and MRIs are often used for this problem.
Is it true during fibrosis fibroblasts in the granulation tissue lays down keratin fibers?
No. The answer is collagen fibers not keratin fibers.
What produces granulation tissue?
Granulation tissue is derived from the endothelial lining of blood vessels.
Does Granulation tissue form normally during the healing of a wound?
Granulation tissue:the tissue that normally forms during the healing of a wound. This tissue eventually forms the scar.
If you have granulation tissue in your vagtina what exactly in inhibiting the sperm and preventing conception?
Granulation tissue contains macrophages and neutrophils that "eat" old tissue and protects the new tissue from bacteria which also repels sperm
Why does an open wound need a bed of granulation tissue for wound healing to occur?
Granulation tissue forms new capillary beds that provide oxygen-rich blood for the healing process.
Is it true that if tissue damage is very severe tissue repair is more likely to occur by fibrosis or scarring?
fibrosis
Why would an open wound would need a bed of granulation for wound healing to occur?
Granulation tissue is tissue with good blood circulation and adequate blood supply is needed for a wound to heal.
During the phase of tissue repair capillary buds invade the clot forming a delicate pink tissue?
Granulation tissue
Is it true that organization is replacement of a blood clot by granulation tissue?
yes
What does growth of a new capillary supply into a region produce?
granulation tissue
