Figure 5A. Axial T2W fat-sat FSE image.

Figure 5B. Sagittal half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) T2W image.

Both images demonstrate innumerable heterogeneous T2-hyperintense foci within the bilateral kidneys.

Diagnosis:  Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Discussion: The cysts in this case have a heterogeneous appearance. Many exhibit fluid-bright T2 hyperintensity, others are intermediate in signal, and a few are T2 hypointense (dark). The heterogeneity reflects variable protein and blood product content within the different renal cysts.

Notes：

1. Autosomal dominant 常染色体显性遗传

2. polycystic kidney 多囊肾病

3. intermediate /ˌɪntə'miːdɪət/ /ˌɪntɚ'midɪət/ adj. 中间的; 中级的；等信号
