Table 3.

Differential table for imaging of benign and malignant thrombus.

	CT	MRI
Benign thrombus	There is no enhancement on contrast enhanced CT.	Lower signal intensity on T2W MRI compared to malignant thrombus. There are no significant lower ADC values.
Malignant thrombus	The presence of enhancement is a strong proof of malignant thrombus.	Higher signal intensity on T2W MRI compared to benign thrombus. Similar signal intensity and ADC values to those of the primary mass. Lower ADC values similar to the primary mass.
