  		Fig. 1B —61-year-old woman with solitary left kidney. Axial T2-weighted MR images without (B) and with (C) fat saturation obtained 2 months after tumor ablation show typical appearance of a treated tumor with low signal within ablation zone. Signal of ablated tumor approximates signal of surrounding fat on fat-saturated image. Contrast-enhanced images (not shown) revealed no evidence of enhancement [2].
