The T2 signal is used by MRI machines to help identify different characteristics of tissues within the brain. For example, the T2 signal can help identify if the tissue contains too much water.

What is T2FLAIR?

T2 FLAIR is an MRI sequence used when scanning brain anatomy. It stands for Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery and is a T2 weighted scan where signal from CSF is nulled giving a good detailed view of brain anatomy.


What is a t2 signal in the left paraspinous muscle?

There are a multitude of electrical signal released by neurons to activate a response in a muscle. A t2 signal in the left paraspinous muscle refers to the impulse from the t2 vertebrae to the muscle on the left of the spine .


Had MRI done...Radiologist says very tiny 2 X 1 mm focus of high signal noted on T2 and IR mean?

It means there is a very small ammount of edema/fluid in that area.


The marrow signal is heterogeneous on the T1 and T2 sequences on my MRI should I be concerned?

A heterogeneous signal in the marrow on T1 and T2 sequences can be due to various reasons such as red marrow reconversion, inflammation, or underlying pathology. It is important to consult with your doctor or a radiologist for further evaluation and interpretation of the MRI findings to determine the cause and any potential concerns.

What does it mean on MRI Heterogeneous increased T2 signal intensity seen at the C7 level of the cervical cord is likely artifactual as corresponding signal abnormality not confirmed on sagittal T2?

It means that initially the radiologist saw a lesion at the spinal cord (at the last cervical vertebrae - C7), but when he looked to confirm it from another plane, it was not there so he concluded that it was an artifact. MRI artifacts are shadows, lesions, lines that appear on images but they don't have anatomical correspondence. Most of the are cause by blood flow, spinal fluid flow, patient movement, hardware problems, and many other reasons.


What does T2 and Flair hyperintensities mean in a MRI scan?

T2 FLAIR Hyperintensity is when hyperintensity is seen via FLAIR (Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery) during the T2, or spin-spin, relaxation cycle. This process helps nullify natural fluid signals in the body to find plaques and lesions in the brain. Hyperintensity describes areas of high intensity in the brain during an MRI.

How does proton density within the tissues affect signal intensity in MRI?

Proton density within the tissue will affect the signal intensity on an MRI. The thicker the tissue, the more intense the return signal will be upon detection.


Are T2 and Flair signal hyperintensities associated with the white matter in the brain?

yes
