EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the brain was performed using the following parameters:
5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.

Lacunar infarcts (iso to hyperintense to CSF) are noted in the thalamus, corona radiata and centrum semiovale bilaterally.
There are ill-defined, hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the periventricular white matter bilaterally and in the subcortical and deep white matter in the fronto-parietal regions bilaterally. These lesions appear hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and most likely represent ischemic changes.
There is mild dilatation of both the lateral and the third ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. There is prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. There is no shift of the midline structures.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzaubal.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Ankle & Foot.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O severe pain and swelling over the right foot since 1 month.
Exploration of the right ankle on 00.00.00. Dirty fluid aspirated.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the right ankle and foot was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images involving the distal end of the tibia, laterally, dome of the talus, posteriorly and along the medial and posterior margin of the lateral malleolus. This signal appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. Similar signal change is noted in the calcaneum and navicular bones adjacent to the calcaneo-navicular joint.
There is an intermediate signal intensity soft tissue lesion on the T1 Weighted images around the lateral, anterior and posterior margins of the right ankle. This lesion also appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. Similar soft tissue lesion is noted between the lateral malleolus and the talus and the sustenteculum tali.
..2/.
Scar of previous surgery is noted along the posterior margin of the lateral malleolus, with susceptibility artifacts in that region.
There is evidence of altered signal (hypointense on the T1 eighted images and hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images) in the subcutaneous fat around the right foot and right ankle which suggests cellulitis.
The rest of the visualized bones of the right ankle and foot show normal signal intensity.
The visualized tendons and ligament show normal signal intensity. No joint effusion is evident.
IMPRESSION :
1. Post-operative status.
2. Altered signal in the distal end of the tibia, lateral malleolus, talus, calcaneum and navicular bones as described is not specific for a single etiology. These changes most likely represent osteitis, in the given clinical setting. Soft tissue around the right ankle joint may represent inflammatory/infective granulation tissue. There is also evidence of cellulitis in the subcutaneous fat around the right foot and ankle.
The possibility of these changes being due to a neoplasm seems less likely.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyznlmn / M / 18 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzilotri.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O weakness of BLE since 6 days.
Alleged H/O fall from height.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
8 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is anterior wedging of the D8 vertebral body with a mild angular kyphus at that level. There is posterior bulging of the vertebral body with indentation upon the spinal cord. The spinal cord over the D6 to D9-D10 levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images. This is iso to hypointense to normal cord on the T1 Weighted images and would represent cord edema/contusion in the given clinical setting.
There is replacement of the normal marrow of the D6, D8 and D9 vertebral bodies by hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images. These are seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and would represent bone bruise/edema. There appears to be a fracture of the left lamina and spinous process of the D8 vertebra.
Large bilateral pleural collections are seen which is hyperintense on the T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted images and may represent altered blood, in the given clinical setting of trauma.
The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.
IMPRESSION :
In the given clinical setting of trauma, the MRI features are suggestive of :
1. Anterior wedging of the D8 vertebral body with mild angular kyphus at that level with cord signal alteration over the D6 to D9-D10 levels would represent cord edema/contusion.
2. Altered signal of the D6, D8 and D9 vertebral bodies would represent bone bruise/edema.
3. Large bilateral pleural collections (? haemorrhagic).
Radiologically, similar findings may be seen with infective or neoplastic processes.

M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
8 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is anterior wedging of the D8 vertebral body with a mild angular kyphus at that level. There is posterior bulging of the vertebral body with indentation upon the spinal cord. The spinal cord over the D6 to D9-D10 levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images. This is iso to hypointense to normal cord on the T1 Weighted images and would represent cord edema/contusion in the given clinical setting.
There is replacement of the normal marrow of the D6, D8 and D9 vertebral bodies by hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images. These are seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and would represent bone bruise/edema. There appears to be a fracture of the left lamina and spinous process of the D8 vertebra.
Large bilateral pleural collections are seen which is hyperintense on the T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted images and may represent altered blood, in the given clinical setting of trauma.
The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.
IMPRESSION :
In the given clinical setting of trauma, the MRI features are suggestive of :
1. Anterior wedging of the D8 vertebral body with mild angular kyphus at that level with cord signal alteration over the D6 to D9-D10 levels would represent cord edema/contusion.
2. Altered signal of the D6, D8 and D9 vertebral bodies would represent bone bruise/edema.
3. Large bilateral pleural collections (? haemorrhagic).
Radiologically, similar findings may be seen with infective or neoplastic processes.
