Diagram shows the signal intensity of various tissues at T1- and T2-weighted imaging. However, note that the signal characteristics of proteinaceous tissues vary according to the amount of protein content: Tissues with high concentrations of protein may have high signal intensity on T1-weighted images (T1WI) and low signal intensity on T2-weighted images (T2WI) (Bitar et al., 2006).
