Breast & Fe/male Pelvis Patho

Abscess

Infection, T1 Fat Sat Post Gad

Fibroadenoma

Benign, in fibrous tissue

Fibrocystic Disease

Benign condition, normal variant. Stromal and Glandular Tissue. Dynamic CE is important to see the washout.

Ductal Ca in Situ

Intraductal Ca. Contrast w/w Fat Sat.

Ruptured Implants

Intracapsular Rupture, linguine sign.

Bicornuate Uterus

Double Up UHN UHN, causes infertility. T1 for Anatomy.

Bladder Ca

Urothelium. Invasive, Non-Invasive, Flat or Papillary, Renal CT, MR Lymphangiography to differentiate Inflammatory vs Malignant.

Cysts

Ovarian - Adnexal mass of Uterus. Occurs during child bearing age.
T1 - hypo
T2 - Hyper

Leiomyoma

AKA Myomas, Fibromyomas, and Fibroids. M/C Uterine Tumor. Estrogen dependent.
T1 & T2 Mixed intensity of mass
T1 w/ Hemorrhage has inc. Signal intensity.
Multiplanar Imaging is important.

Malignant Ovarian Neoplasms.

Epithelial Tissue, 10-15% are mets. Axial and Coronal are most useful planes.

Septate Uterus

Similar to Bicornuate, 2 horns. Partial or complete. T1.

BPH

Nodular Enlargement of Prostate w/ Constriction of urethra.
T1 → Low/inter signal
T2 → Intermediate/High
Hard to tell b/w this and Bladder Ca. Gad enhancement is slower.

Prostate Ca

50+. PSA high. MR Useful for staging, endorectal coil may be useful.
