MRI signs of occult fractures are evident several weeks before radiographic signs appear. In the hip, a limited and cost-effective MR protocol, with only T1 weighted coronal images, may enable a reliable diagnosis or exclusion of occult fracture in very little time, for example, 7 minutes.
T1 weighted: T1: Measuring spin–lattice relaxation by using a short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE). Lower signal for more water content, [1] as in edema, tumor, infarction, inflammation, infection, hyperacute or chronic hemorrhage. [2] High signal for fat [1] [2] High signal for paramagnetic substances, such as MRI contrast agents [2]
The presence of edema within the bone marrow yields a visible signal on the MRI, due to displacement of the normally fatty tissue within the marrow by interstitial fluid with higher water content; this change in composition is then reflected by the MRI due to differences in the T1-weighted and T2-weighted images.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to generate pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields , magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to form images of the organs in the body.
Brodie's abscess is characterized by pain and swelling without fever, often resulting from diabetic wounds, fracture-related bone infection, or haematogenous osteomyelitis. The condition is often diagnosed through imaging, which reveals distinctive "target signs" such as central necrosis , surrounding granulation tissue, fibrosis , and an ...
MRI contrast agents are contrast agents used to improve the visibility of internal body structures in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [1] The most commonly used compounds for contrast enhancement are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Such MRI contrast agents shorten the relaxation times of nuclei within body tissues following oral or ...
A variant of diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI), [4] was used in deriving the Connectome data sets; DSI is a variant of diffusion-weighted imaging that is sensitive to intra-voxel heterogeneities in diffusion directions caused by crossing fiber tracts and thus allows more accurate mapping of axonal trajectories than ...
Fast low angle shot magnetic resonance imaging (FLASH MRI) is a particular sequence of magnetic resonance imaging. It is a gradient echo sequence which combines a low-flip angle radio-frequency excitation of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal (recorded as a spatially encoded gradient echo) with a short repetition time .
