From: Fusion anomaly of the pancreatic tail and spleen: a case report
In-phase T1-weighted image (upper left) clearly shows the boundary between the pancreatic tail (arrowhead) and the spleen (arrow). On out-of-phase T1-weighted image (upper right), a fat plane between the pancreatic tail and splenic tissue could not be identified and thus suggested fusion. T2-weighted image could not identify the fused border. Fat-suppressed T1-weighted image after gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (lower right) differentiated between the two tissues based on their contrast differences
