Abstract
The identification of hemorrhage with magnetic resonance (MR) is superior to other imaging modalities and may have important implications for the clinical management and outcome of a patient. Hemorrhage exhibits all possible MR signal patterns, depending on biological variables and imaging techniques. Hemorrhage, therefore, is an excellent tool for understanding the basic principles influencing MR contrast, allowing for the possibility of understanding the signal characteristics of many other entities. It is extremely help-ful to gain a basic knowledge of the biological and physical processes underlying the signal changes of an evolving hematoma.
