The “blooming effect” of signal voids induced by hemosiderin-iron. The theoretical equality of lesion size to MR hypointensity size is graphed in red. The actual measurements are shown in the scatter plot and almost all the lesions are smaller than their associated MR finding. The signal voids averaged 1.58 ± 0.75 times the size of the associated lesion
