Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 16 patients with pigmented skin lesions, seven with nodular melanomas, two with superficial spreading melanomas, two with subcutaneous melanoma metastases, and five with different benign pigmented nodular skin lesions. The results of MRI were compared with the histologic diagnoses. Signal intensities of the lesions were compared with subcutaneous fat, revealing a lower signal intensity of all lesions on T1-weighted images. Intensity measurements showed a significant (P < .01) difference between benign and malignant lesions on T2-weighted images.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
