Figure 2. Magnetic resonance imaging. (A) T1-weighted image. (B) T2-weighted image. (C) Diffusion-weighted image. (D) Apparent diffusion coefficient image. Splenic nodules (arrows) had mixed high and low signals on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Nodules that showed high signal on T2-weighted images had high signal on diffusion-weighted images and low signal on ADC images, suggesting inflammation or malignancy.
