old blood due to recurrent hemorrhage
56
In edometriosis MRI
## Footnote
1. Superficial lesion
2. On MRI these lesions are **most often not visible** because they **are tiny and flat**, and therefore **undetectable. **
Only when they **exceed** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_or when they\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, showing high signal intensity on T1 and low signal intensity on T2-weigthed images, they may be detected (figure).
1. 5mm
2. appear as hemorrhagic cysts
