Fig. 15

A 79-year-old woman with a poorly pigmented choroidal melanoma and hemorrhagic retinal detachment of the right eye. The same patient as in Fig. 8. Axial (a) T2-weighted turbo spin-echo STIR and (b) fat-suppressed T1-weighted images reveal an intraocular mass with intermediate signal intensity (white arrows), consistent with a poorly pigmented melanoma. Along the posterior aspect of the globe, the hemorrhagic retinal detachment is better depicted on fat-suppressed T1-weighted image in which it displays high signal intensity due to subacute blood products (white arrowhead). On (c) contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted image the lesion enhances (white arrow), whereas the retinal detachment does not enhance (white arrowhead)
