T2-weighted images

T2-weighted images are a type of MRI scan that highlight differences in water content within the body. They make areas with more water, like fluids in tissues, appear bright, while denser structures like bones or muscles appear darker. This contrast helps doctors identify issues such as inflammation, tumors, or swelling. T2-weighted imaging is especially useful for detecting abnormalities involving fluid accumulation, providing clear detail about the body's soft tissues and hidden conditions.
