High concentrations of urinary glucose and low pH both enhance transverse relaxation, which, in turn, causes low signal intensity in urinary bladder on long echo time (TE) images, such as MR urography. Radiologists should be aware of this phenomenon when interpreting abnormally low-intensity bladders on long TE images.
