What does "high T2 and FLAIR signal intensity" mean?

I had understood T2 to be the slice of the ultrasound, and T2 to be the 'not "black holes" (more inflamation type of lesion) . . . but doesn't the flair signal intensity mean enhancing?

Hi Cherie,

Hope you're doing well...I'm doing ok...2 epidurals since January 1 and I'm marginally better.

"High T2 and FLAIR signal intensity" means something was bright on those sequences, the FLAIR confirming that the bright signal seen on the T2-weighted sequence was pathologic and not just CSF (cerebrospinal fluid).
