T2-weighted imaging is a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that highlights differences in tissue water content. In this imaging method, fluids appear bright, making it useful for identifying conditions like edema, tumors, and inflammation. This technique is particularly effective for visualizing soft tissues, as it provides clear contrast between various structures. By emphasizing water-rich areas, T2-weighted images help radiologists assess the health of organs and detect abnormalities in the body.
