Could you tell me what are hyperintense signals in breast mri?

Need context: "hyperintense" means "bright" signal on either t1 or t2 (more likely) weighted sequences. These mean different things, and thus more info is needed. You can learn more about MRI scanning (in text and video) here: http://www.Conciergeradiologist.Com/how-does-mri-work.Html. Be sure to check out related pages on the site to learn more about all things mri, especially as it relates to your case.

Hyperintense: on an MRI image means bright signal. The significance of hyperintense signal depends on the technical parameters of the scan. Depending on various technical settings, hyperintense can imply one thing on one sequence, and the opposite on another.
