  Fig. 1 Thoracic MRI 2 days after symptom onset (A: T2-weighted sagittal, B: T2-weighted axial). Follow-up MRI at 2 weeks (C: T2-weighted sagittal, D: T2-weighted axial, E: T1-weighted sagittal, contrast-enhanced, F: T1-weighted axial, contrast-enhanced). Diffusion-weighted images at 2 weeks (G: B1000 sagittal, H: B1000 axial, I: ADC sagittal, J: ADC axial). ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient.
