Q: what colour would the fluid in a maxillary mucus retention cyst by on mri? dark or light?

: I only have had experiences with CT scans of paranasal sinuses and normally they show up as black. If there's liquid material it shows up as grey. Perhaps someone on this forum has experience with MRI studies of the paranasal sinuses.
