Tumoral hemorrhage in a 17-year-old male adolescent with thalamic glioma. (a) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery MR image (Philips) (7000/140/2300 [TR msec/TE msec/inversion time msec]; flip angle, 90°; bandwidth, 220 Hz/pixel; voxel size, 0.75 × 0.81 × 5 mm; FOV, 220 × 220 mm) shows a hyperintense tumor in the right thalamus, with a hypointense area of hemorrhage (arrow). (b) Axial T2*-weighted fast GRE MR image (T2 FFE; Philips) (665/23; flip angle, 18°; bandwidth, 108.6 Hz/pixel; voxel size, 0.9 × 1.1 × 5.0 mm; FOV, 220 × 192 mm) shows blooming of the area of hemorrhage (arrow) in the tumor. T2*-weighted sequences should always be included in brain tumor imaging to detect tumoral bleeding.
