Fig. 2From: Contribution of diffusion-weighted imaging to conventional MRI for detection of haemorrhagic infarction in ovary torsionA female patient with right lower quadrant pain for three days. She had surgically confirmed haemorrhagic infarction without any space occupying lesion, and oophorectomy was performed. a T2-weighted fat-suppressed axial image shows an enlarged right ovary with strong stromal hypointensity (arrows) and peripherally deplased follicles. b T1-weighted fat-suppressed axial image reveals slight hyperintensity of swollen stroma compared to iliopsoas muscle (arrows). Note also the slightly hyperintense haemorrhagic free peritoneal fluid in the pelvic resseses (stars). c b 1000 image shows strong hypointensity in the ovarian stroma (arrows) and hyperintense haemorrhagic fluid in the pelvic resseses (stars). d Visual assessment of ADC map shows strong stromal hypointensity (ADC value, 0.87 × 10−3 mm2/s) and hypointense haemorrhagic fluid in the pelvic resseses compared to urinary bladderBack to article page
