Definition:
Having homogeneous and markedly higher signal intensity than liver at T2w imaging.
 
Usage:
  • Applies to observations that, on T2w images, unequivocally:
    • Are homogeneously and markedly hyperintense relative to liver on T2w images. The hyperintensity relative to liver is more pronounced with longer echo times; the signal intensity may approximate that of bile ducts and other simple-fluid filled structures. 
  • Homogeneous marked T2 hyperintensity is an ancillary feature favoring benignity.
  • Radiologists at their discretion may apply homogeneous marked T2 hyperintensity to downgrade category.
If unsure about feature:
  • Do not characterize as homogeneous marked T2 hyperintensity
Synonyms:
  • T2 bright, High T2 signal intensity, Fluid signal
