38-year-old patient with cervical carcinoma. On contrast-enhanced turbo spin echo (TSE) T1-w. fat-saturated sagittal image (a) differentiation between normal uterus and cancer is difficult. On sagittal short inversion time inversion recovery (STIR) scan (b) obtained at the same level immediately after TSE sequence, the signal of normal uterus is cancelled and hyperintense cancer is well depicted. There is an optimal correspondence between STIR and diffusion-weighted image (c), where spatial resolution is however lower. Contrast-enhanced gradient echo (GE) T1-w. fat-saturated scan (d) through the right kidney. Contrast-enhanced fast-STIR image (e) obtained immediately after d shows that the signal of renal parenchyma is cancelled since its T1 is equal to that of fat
