HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Accession:HP:0040272 term browser browse the term
Definition:A region of high intensity (brightness) observed upon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the spinal cord.
Comment:Seen in a wide-ranging variety of spinal cord processes including; simple MR artifacts, congenital anomalies etc. Characterization of the abnormal areas of T2 signal as well as their appearance on other MR imaging sequences, when combined with clinical context and laboratory investigations, will often allow a unique diagnosis, or at least aid in narrowing the differential diagnosis. {xref="PMID:19527360"}
Synonyms:xref: UMLS:C4280684
