C/O right sided weakness with speech disturbances since 4 days.
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.
OBSERVATION :
There are ill-defined, hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the pons, anteriorly and to the left of the midline, right lentiform nucleus, left corona radiata and in the subcortical white matter in the posterior parietal regions bilaterally and left frontal region. These lesions appear isointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images.
Lacunar infarcts (iso to hyperintense to CSF) are noted in the left lentiform nucleus and in the left corona radiata.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
There is a hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences within the transverse and sigmoid sinuses and proximal internal jugular vein on the left side may represent slow flow.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Pelvis.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to the RLE with paresthesias since 8 days.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the pelvis was performed using the following parameters:
7 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
7 mm thick T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images involving the sacrum on the right and the bodies of the first three sacral segments. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and STIR images. Minimal extension of the lesion into the presacral soft tissues is noted on the right. Effacement of the second sacral foramen on the right is noted with encasement of the nerve root at this level. The right sacro-iliac joint per se is not involved. The visualized left sacro iliac joint and the hip joints on either side are unremarkable.
Also seen is a fairly large, approximately 7.0 x 5.0 x 8.0 cms well-defined, intermediate signal intensity mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the pelvis between the uterus and the rectum, slightly more to the left of the midline. This lesion appears relatively hyperintense as compared to normal muscle on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. Few cystic/necrotic foci are noted within this lesion. The lesion appears to be separate from the uterus, rectum and the bony pelvis. It is seen to indent the uterus and rectum. The right adnexal region is unremarkable. Minimal fluid is noted around the lesion.
..2/.
The urinary bladder shows normal wall thickness. The left iliac vessels are in close relation to the pelvic mass lesion.
IMPRESSION :
1. Altered signal in the sacrum on the right as described is not specific for a single etiology. Such changes may be seen in :
a. Infective processes like tuberculous osteitis.
b. Neoplasia like round cell tumors.
2. A fairly large 7.0 x 5.0 x 8.0 cms sized mass lesion in the pelvis in the utero-rectal pouch, to the left of the midline as described, is not specific for a single etiology. The differential diagnosis would include :
a. Pedunculated fibroid.

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.
OBSERVATION :
There are hypointense areas (isointense to CSF) on the T1 Weighted images, of varying size in the left cerebellar hemisphere, pons, right external capsule, bilateral lentiform nuclei, bilateral thalami and right periatrial region. These are seen to turn hyperintense on the proton and T2 Weighted images and represent lacunar infarcts. The lesion in the right external capsular region may be the sequelae of a previous bleed.

7 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
8 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
The subcutaneous fat in the inguinal regions on either side shows an ill-defined hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images and which turns significantly hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. There is a break in the continuity of the surface of the skin on either side in these regions at about the level of the roof of the acetabulum, suggesting a sinus. The sinus tract on the left side also shows evidence of air. The underlying abdominal wall muscles on the left at the operative site also show an ill-defined hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. An approximately 2.0 cms diameter sized collection is noted deep to the sinus tract on the left in close relation to the left ilio-psoas muscle (se/im 103.21, 104.6). Another smaller collection is seen in the anterior abdominal wall to the right of the midline at the acetabular roof level (se/im 102/22, 102.23, 103/22 and 103.23).
The urinary bladder shows normal wall thickness. There is no prostatic enlargement noted. The seminal vesicles are unremarkable.
The visualized bony pelvis shows normal signal intensity. The visualized hip joints are unremarkable.
The ischio-rectal fossae on either side appear normal.
There are no abnormally enlarged pelvic lymph nodes identified. No obvious vascular anomaly is noted. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.

M.R.I of the left tibia was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
4 mm thick STIR coronal images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the diaphysis of the proximal third of the left tibia, extending over a 10 cms long segment, approximately 5.0 cms distal to the left knee joint. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. There is no obvious cortical or bone erosion or destruction seen though there is some element of periosteal reaction along the antero-medial margin of the left tibia. The soft tissues overlying the antero-medial margin of the left tibia appear hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images which may represent inflammatory changes/soft tissue edema.
The zone of transition between the affacted segment and the normal marrow is ill-defined.
The visualized fibula is unremarkable.

C/O pain in the left leg (below knee) since 3-4 months.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the left tibia was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
4 mm thick STIR coronal images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the diaphysis of the proximal third of the left tibia, extending over a 10 cms long segment, approximately 5.0 cms distal to the left knee joint. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. There is no obvious cortical or bone erosion or destruction seen though there is some element of periosteal reaction along the antero-medial margin of the left tibia. The soft tissues overlying the antero-medial margin of the left tibia appear hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images which may represent inflammatory changes/soft tissue edema.
The zone of transition between the affacted segment and the normal marrow is ill-defined.
The visualized fibula is unremarkable.
There is no extension of the lesion into the left knee joint. The visualized muscles in the proximal left leg are unremarkable.

- 2 - scan-00007
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal in the diaphysis of the proximal third of the left tibia as described is not specific for a single etiology. A stressed fracture is a likely possibility.
The possibility of a infective or a neoplastic etiology cannot be excluded.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzndesha. Examination : M.R.Cholangiogram.EXAMINATION :
MR Cholangiogram was performed. 7 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images. 6 mm thick T2 Weighted coronal images.OBSERVATION
There is seen a well-defined, approximately 3.0 x 2.5 cms sized, hypointense mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the right lobe of the liver, posteriorly. This lesion appears hyperinetense on the T2 Weighted images but is relatively suppressed on the long TE sequence. No perilesional satellite lesions are noted. No distortion of the intrahepatic vascular anatomy is noted.
The gall bladder is well-distended with evidence of gall stones. The gall bladder wall is not thickened. No pericolicystic fluid collection is noted.
A small cortical renal cyst is noted in the upper pole of the right kidney.
Both the visualized kidneys, pancreas, adrenals and spleen are otherwise normal.
There are no abnormally enlarged abdominal lymphnodes noted. There is no free fluid in the abdomen.
On the MRCP, the visualized hepatic ducts and cystic duct is normal in it's course and calibre. The common bile duct is well-visualized in it's entire course upto it's insertion into the duodenum and is of normal calibre (an apparent narrowing of the CBD is noted in its midsegment. This is due to a kink of the CBD at that level). There are no intrinsic lesions in the cystic and common bile ducts. The pancreatic duct
is visualized on the source images and is unremarkable. ..2/.
