Figure 2. MR images of the thoracic spine.(a) Coronal fast spin-echo T₁ weighted image (TR/TE 750/12) shows symmetric band-like soft tissue mass of high signal intensity (arrows). (b) Contrast-enhanced coronal fast spin-echo fat-saturated T₁ weighted image (TR/TE 716/12) shows marked and homogeneous enhancement of the band-like paravertebral mass (arrows).
