“The hospital conducted full CT scans and all relevant tests, and the results showed that Liv had multiple masses in her head/brain and on her lungs,” her sister-in-law Stefanie Harlow, 32, of ...
MRI scans showing hyperintensities. A hyperintensity or T2 hyperintensity is an area of high intensity on types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain of a human or of another mammal that reflect lesions produced largely by demyelination and axonal loss.

Such scans can detect tumors by the swelling and anatomical distortion they cause, or by surrounding edema. While CT scans are widely available and produce images rapidly, MRI scans provide better anatomic detail of brain structures and detection of tumor-infiltrated areas.
Doctors treating Archie Battersbee think it ‘highly likely’ he is dead and say life support should end, but his parents disagree.
Dawson's Fingers appearing on an MRI scan. Multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) produce lesions (demyelinated areas in the CNS) and glial scars or scleroses. They present different shapes and histological findings according to the underlying condition that produces them.
The hematoma can exert a mass effect on the brain, increasing intracranial pressure and potentially causing midline shift or deadly brain herniation. In the past this effect held additional diagnostic importance since prior to the invention of modern tomographic soft-tissue imaging utilizing MRI or CT it was not possible to directly image many ...
Tumefactive multiple sclerosis is a condition in which the central nervous system of a person has multiple demyelinating lesions with atypical characteristics for those of standard multiple sclerosis (MS). It is called tumefactive as the lesions are "tumor-like" and they mimic tumors clinically, radiologically and sometimes pathologically.
