fig 3. — T2-dark right frontal subacute hematoma (intracellular methemoglobin).

A, T1-weighted image (600/20/1) (left) shows predominantly hyperintense blood products. Fast spin-echo T2-weighted image (4000/85/1) (middle) shows predominantly low signal intensity corresponding to intracellular blood products. Diffusion-weighted isotropic image (10000/125/1) (right) shows T2 blackout effect with marked hypointensity relative to the brain.

B, Trace ADC map displayed without background masking (left) shows hematoma to have diffusion rates comparable with the brain, with some dropped points within the lesion. Trace ADC map displayed with 2% background masking (right) shows dramatic loss of pixels within hematoma.
