"T1: most commonly heterogeneous but low to intermediate signal intensity"
"T2: typically low signal (in contrast to most of the differential diagnoses stated below)"
"T1 C+ (Gd): usually peripheral and septal enhancement in a “spoke wheel” pattern with a central hypoenhancing stellate scar"
"SANT is scintigraphically cold, however, this fairly non-specific sign will not aid in diagnosis. The absence of reticuloendothelial cells within the SANT lesion may account for this lack of uptake of 99mTc-sulfur colloid 1."

"May be slightly hypermetabolic with increased SUV measurements compared to hepatic and surrounding normal splenic uptake. Abundance of cells, including haemosiderin-laden macrophages, myofibroblasts, lymphocytes, and plasma cells as aforementioned, may account for splenic SANT’s FDG avidity 1. However, other authors have reported SANT cases without FDG-PET activity 4."
Expected headings
"FDG-PET"
"SPECT-CT"
"Histology shows numerous nodular erythrocytes, stromal components collagenous bands containing myofibroblasts, haemosiderin-laden macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells."
