a MRI findings (T1WI, T2WI, and DWI) in a patient with cyst infection. The infected renal cyst shows a higher intensity on DWI compared with normal cysts, but it is difficult to identify on T1WI and T2WI. b MRI findings (T1WI, T2WI, and DWI) in a patient with cyst infection. A fluid-fluid level and cyst wall thickening can be seen. The infected renal cyst shows a higher intensity on DWI and T1WI than normal cysts, while it has a lower intensity on T2WI. c MRI findings (T1WI, T2WI, and DWI) in a patient with cyst infection. Obvious cyst wall thickening can be seen. The infected cyst is iso-intense on T1WI, T2WI, and DWI. d MRI findings (T1WI, T2WI, and DWI) in a patient with cyst infection. Gas is seen on T1WI, T2WI, and CT. The infected renal cyst shows a higher intensity on DWI compared with normal cysts, while it has a lower intensity on T2WI and T1WI
