Fibrous Band A fibrous band is a dense connective tissue structure composed primarily of collagen fibers, typically appearing as a thin, linear, and low-signal (hypointense) element on MRI. These bands are often: 🧠 Anatomically: Part of ligaments, fascia, or adhesions Serve to stabilize, anchor, or compartmentalize structures May appear in normal anatomy (e.g., falx cerebri, diaphragma sellae) or pathological conditions (e.g., fibrous septa, scarring) 🖥️ On MRI: Appear T1- and T2-hypointense due to low water content May be mistaken for vessels, artifacts, or pathological bands without proper validation ⚠️ In Imaging Literature: Frequently overinterpreted when new sequences reveal minute structures Must be correlated with surgical, histological, or functional relevance Risk of false significance in descriptive studies based solely on image appearance fibrous_band.txt Last modified: 2025/06/20 05:37by administrador
