Subject: MRI? T-2 ?waited imaging

The pt is "Status post left image guided fiberoptic endoscopic sinus surgery/frontal trephination for left chronic frontal sinusitis.  Status post septoplasty for septal deviation.  History of sub-periostial abscess. History of frontal subdural empyema. Possible frontal bone osteomyelitis"


MRI with and without gadolinium obtained today shows evidence of a signal enhancement in the frontal recess and the frontal sinus on "T 2 waited" images." 


What is the proper way to transcribe "T2 s/l ?waited? images?


Thanks in advance
