Figure 3: Asymptomatic hemangioma at L-3 in a 30-year-old man. Panel A Axial T1-weighted MR image shows low-signal-intensity thickened trabeculae (arrowheads) in a background of fat overgrowth (arrows). Panel B Sagittal conventional spin-echo T2-weighted MR image reveals high signal intensity in the vascular portions of the lesion (arrows), although the majority of the lesion appears similar to adipose tissue because of the large amount of fat overgrowth.
