Figure 4. Primary tumor stage pT2N0G2 in a 61-year-old patient. Coronal USPIO-enhanced MR images (left: T1-weighted SE 450/8; middle: fat-saturated T2-weighted fast SE 4,500/36; right: T1-weighted fast spoiled GRE 80/8 with a 40° flip angle) shows an oval node (arrows) with a size of 2.1 x 1.0 cm. The node has a fatty hilum and demonstrates peripheral USPIO uptake. Because of the susceptibility artifacts of the contrast agent, the node appears to be larger on the GRE image.
