“…However, the irregular thickening of the outer gallbladder wall, irregularity and thickening of the innermost wall layer which indicates the mucosa, loss of multilayer pattern of the gallbladder wall, focal discontinuity and intralesional vascularity are extensively associated with cancer occurrence. 6 For visualization of Color Doppler twinkling artifacts (CDTAs) 1.8 MHz color Doppler frequency is more highly recommended. 7 MR imaging clearly demonstrates gallbladder wall thickening and reveals RAS as intramural lesions that are hyperintense on T2-weighted images, hypointense on T1-weighted images, and nonenhancing.…”

Abstract. Fusion images of diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression and T2-weighted image (DWIBS/T2) demonstrate a strong signal for malignancies, with a high contrast against the surrounding tissues, and enable anatomical analysis. In the present study, DWIBS/T2 was compared with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for diagnosing cancer in the abdomen. Patient records, including imaging results of examination conducted between November 2012 and May 2014, were analyzed retrospectively. In total, 10 men (age, 73.6±9.6 years) and 8 women (age, 68.9±7.1 years) were enrolled into the current study. Of the enrolled patients, 2 were diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma, 1 with cholangiocellular carcinoma, 1 with liver metastasis, 2 with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 with renal cell carcinoma and 1 with malignant lymphoma. Benign lesions were also analyzed, including adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder (5 patients), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (4 patients) and right adrenal adenoma (1 case). All the patients with cancer showed positive results on DWIBS/T2 images. However, only 7 out of 8 patients were positive with PET/CT. One patient with right renal cellular carcinoma was positive with DWIBS/T2, but negative with PET/CT. All the patients with benign lesions were negative with DWIBS/T2 and PET/CT. In conclusion, DWIBS/T2 was more sensitive in diagnosing cancer of organs in the abdominal cavity compared with PET/CT. Furthermore, negative results with DWIBS/T2 and PET/CT were useful for the diagnosis of benign lesions, such as adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.

A 55-year-old man with end-stage liver disease status post transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure presents for routine sonographic evaluation for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt patency. FIGURE 3. T2-weighted (A) and T1-weighted (B) fat-saturated axial MRI scans. The cystic spaces of Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (solid arrow) are clearly demonstrated on MRI, and they have high T2 and low T1 signal and exhibit a characteristic ''pearl necklace'' sign. Furthermore, the gallbladder wall (broken arrow) enhances, whereas cystic spaces do not on the postcontrast T1-weighted fat saturated axial MRI scan (C).
