摘要: T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images showing focal areas of low signal intensity involving the endometrium or endometrial cavity were analyzed retrospectively in 28 women. The causes hypointense foci disclosed histologically 25 patients and by follow-up MR examinations other 3. due to submucosal leiomyoma (11 patients), blood clot (7 carcinoma (4 early intrauterine pregnancy (3 retained products conception (2 hamartoma (1 patient). correct diagnosis was made on basis findings alone 9 11 leiomyomas. nonspecific remainder cases. results indicate that, images, within can arise from a variety causes. Often, specific is not possible, correlation with clinical history essential.
