Figure 2

Pattern of uniform high-signal intensity on SPIO-enhanced MR imaging. (a) The node (arrow) showed high-signal intensity before administration of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO). (b) After administration of SPIO, the node showed uniform high-signal intensity and was diagnosed as malignant (arrow). (c) Histological findings confirmed it as malignant. This node was almost entirely replaced by metastatic tissue.
