Thickening of subcutaneous facia. Observer score variation within the skull due to thickening of subcutaneous fascia (arrows) shown by (a) axial b900 DW MRI and (b) axial in-phase Dixon MRI. High diffusion signal leads to a false positive report of a skull lesion (arrow a), in-phase Dixon images show the lesion to not be within the skull and instead relate to thickening of subcutaneous facia (arrow b). Synonymous to this we also found sub-occipital lymph nodes can lead to false positive reporting of focal lesions within the skull
