Methods The imaging features of 11 cases with ASPS were retrospectively analyzed. Results ASPS mainly exhibited an isointense or slightly high signal intensity on Tl-weighted imaging (TlWl), and a mixed high signal on T2-weighted imaging (T2Wl). ASPS was partial, with rich tortuous flow voids, or "line-like" low signal septa. The essence of the mass was heterogeneous enhancement. The 1 H- MRS showed a slight choline peak at 3.2 ppm. Conclusion The well-circumscribed mass and blood voids, combined with "line-like" low signals play a significant role in diagnosis. The choline peak and the other signs may be auxiliary diagnoses.展开更多
