Usefulness of heavily T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of alveolar lung metastases from pancreas mucinous adenocarcinoma

J Thorac Imaging. 2008 Feb;23(1):44-6. doi: 10.1097/RTI.0b013e3181578d99.

Abstract

We report the case of a patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and mucinous air-space metastases, in which the diagnosis was suspected at magnetic resonance using heavily T2-weighted images obtained with magnetic resonance hydrographic sequences.
