Fig. 5A —62-year-old woman with breast cancer. Typical behavior of
osteonecrotic lesion on T1 (A), STIR (B), and contrast-enhanced
T1 (C) sequences. Hypointense lesion with bright signal in STIR and
contrast enhancement in quadrants 1 and 2 are seen. Arrows show focal lesions
of osteonecrosis in quadrant 1 (black arrows) and quadrant 2
(white arrows).

(B), and contrast-enhanced T1 (C) sequences show atypical
behavior of osteonecrotic lesion (arrows). There is hypointense
lesion with little brightness on STIR (B) and with no contrast
enhancement (C).
