When Enhancement Is Helpful

Enhancement is helpful for identifying cysts. It also confirms fluid-filled anatomy. Recognition supports diagnosis.

Common Structures with Enhancement

Common structures include the bladder, gallbladder, and simple cysts. Enhancement helps differentiate them from solid masses. Knowledge supports accuracy.
