Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache since 6 months.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the lumbo-sacral spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is loss of normal lumbar lordosis and loss of water content of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc. There appears to be sacralization of the L5 vertebra which is as marked on the film.
There is a small postero-central disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at the L5-S1 level, minimally indenting the dural theca anteriorly. The L5 and S1 vertebral bodies adjacent of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Inferior cortical endplate of L5 is slightly ill-defined, anteriorly.
A small posterior disc bulge is noted at the L4-L5 level.
The rest of the lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the D12-L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S1 level.
..2/.
The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :
14.0 mm at L1-L2
15.0 mm at L2-L3
13.0 mm at L3-L4
11.0 mm at L4-L5
10.0 mm at L5-S1.
IMPRESSION :
1. Degenerated L5-S1 intervertebral disc with a small postero-central disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at that level.
2. Altered signal in the L5 and S1 vertebral bodies adjacent to the L5-S1 intervertebral disc represents Type I degenerative marrow changes. The possibility of this marrow signal representing osteitis seems less likely.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Qurlmn / F / 23 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhari.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
(Post-contrast Study).
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O neckpain radiating to the RUE with numbness since 4 years.
Alleged H/O fall prior to this.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed after contrast administration using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal and coronal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
After contrast administration, there is intense enhancement of the intramedullary lesion which is seen to extend over the C2-C3 disc level upto the C6 vertebral level. There is no enhancement of the cystic intramedullary lesion at the cervico-medullary junction and over the C6 to D5 vertebral levels although some peripheral enhancement is noted. These non-enhancing, cystic lesions represent tumor related cysts/syrinx.
There is no other focal area of abnormal enhancement in the cervical and dorsal spinal cord or along the meninges.
IMPRESSION :
The contrast enhanced study reveals an enhancing intramedullary lesion extending over C2-C3 disc level upto the C6 vertebral level, which may represent an intramedullary neoplasm. Tumor related cysts/syrinx are noted as described.
The possibility of an infective/inflammatory etiology seems unlikely.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzma M.U. Anlmn / F / 50 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdeo. Examination : M.R.Cholangiogram.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O abdominal pain with weight loss and loss of appetite since 2 months with jaundice (detected 4 days). EXAMINATION :
MR Cholangiogram was performed. 6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images. 5 mm thick STIR coronal images.OBSERVATION :
There are multiple, well-marginated hypointense lesions on the T1 Weighted images, of varying size, scattered in the hepatic parenchyma on either side. These lesions appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. There is mild dilatation of intrahepatic biliary radicles, the left and right hepatic ducts and the common hepatic duct. The portal system is unremarkable.
There is seen an approximately 1.2 x 2.1 cms sized hypointense mass lesion on the T2 Weighted images in the region of the neck of the gall bladder. This lesion appears isointense to the rest of the gall bladder on the T1 Weighted images. Mild thickening of the gall bladder wall is noted (about 4.0 mm).
The pancreas, spleen and both kidneys are unremarkable.
There are no abnormally enlarged abdominal lymphnodes noted. There is no free fluid in the abdomen.
Scan-00005
Incidentally noted are about 1.5 cms diameter sized nodular lesions in the lower lobes of both the lungs.
The MRCP reveals mild dilatation of the intrahepatic biliary redicles, left and right hepatic ducts and the common hepatic duct and the proximal CBD. The cystic duct and the gall bladder are not well-identified. The pancreatic duct is not dilated. Distal CBD is not visualized.
IMPRESSION : An approximately 1.2 x 2.1 cms sized mass lesion in the region of the neck of the gall bladder may represent a gall bladder neoplasm. Non visualization of the cystic duct may suggests tumor infiltration. Obstruction of the proximal CBD is noted with mild dilatation of the hepatic ducts and the intrahepatic biliary radicles. Multiple focal lesions in the hepatic parenchyma and nodular lesions in the lung base most likely represent metastatic lesions.

CLINICAL PROFILE : H/O craniotomy for left high parietal parafalcine SOL. Partial excision of SOL done 00.00.00. Detected to have glioblastoma multiforme. Received radiotherapy from 00.00.00 to 00.00.00. Follow-up MRI on 00.00.00 revealed a communicating hydrocephalus with periventricular CSF ooze. VP shunt done on 00.00.00.
Now admitted with altered sensorium with right hemiplegia.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the brain was performed using the following parameters:
5 mm thick T1 Weighted, Proton and T2 Weighted axial images.5 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
SOME IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.
OBSERVATION :There is evidence of a left high parietal craniectomy.
There is seen a cystic lesion in the left posterior parietal and left deep parietal region, which follows CSF signal on all pulse sequences. This lesion is just deep to the craniectomy site and extends nearly upto the left lateral ventricular wall and may represent the site of previous surgery. This lesion shows focal hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences which may represent extracellular methemoglobin.
Scan-00003
There is diffuse, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the white matter in the left fronto-temporo-parietal region and in the left thalamus, subthalamic region and in the left cerebral peduncle. This signal appears hypointense on the T1 Weighted images. Resultant sulcal space effacement is noted with compression of the left lateral and the third ventricles, effacement of the left ambient cistern and mild shift of the midline structures to the right. No focal lesion is identified within the above described diffuse signal change. Involvement of the body of the corpus callosum is noted.
There is mild dilatation of the right lateral and fourth ventricles. Periventricular white matter hyperintense signal
on the T2 Weighted images may represent periventricular CSF ooze. The tip of the shunt tube is noted in the body of the right lateral ventricle.
No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.IMPRESSION :
1. Post-operative, post-shunt status.
2. An area of cystic encephalomalacia in the left posterior parietal and left deep parietal region which may be the sequelae of previous surgery.
3. Diffuse altered signal in the left fronto-temporo-parietal white matter and in the left thalamus, subthalamic region and left cerebral peduncle as described, is not specific for a single etiology. This may either represent post-radiation changes or diffuse infiltrative tumor tissue. Involvement of the body of the corpus callosum is noted.
