Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Shlmn / F / 40 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhtekar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain on the right side of the face since 2 years.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.
Limited 3D TOF sequences through the region of interest.
4 mm thick GRASS coronal images through the region of interest.
OBSERVATION :
There is a small ill-marginated lesion in the left parietal region which measures approximately 0.5 x 0.6 x 0.7 cms which is hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and turns heterogeneously hypointense on the proton, T2 Weighted and GRASS images with few hyperintense areas in the centre. There is mild surrounding edema/gliotic changes (hyperintense on the proton and T2 Weighted images).
A vascular loop is seen to indent the root entry zone of the right trigeminal nerve. A small vascular loop is seen superior to the cisternal component of the left trigeminal nerve. However it is not seen to indent the nerve.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
Incidental note is made of inflammatory changes in the sphenoid sinus on the right side.
IMPRESSION :
1. A lesion in the left parietal region measuring approximately 0.5 x 0.6 x 0.7 cms may represent a granuloma (? calcified).
A contrast enhanced scan may be worthwhile, if clinically indicated.
2. A vascular loop indenting the root entry zone of the right trigeminal nerve.

FEW IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION INSPITE OF SEDATION.
OBSERVATION :
Areas of intermediate signal intensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the STIR images are seen within the suprasellar cistern, more so to the right of the pituitary stalk (scans 105.14, 108.9, 108.10).
There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally.
The odontoid process appears placed more to the left of the midline ? positional.
There is no focal area of altered signal intensity within the brain parenchyma.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of areas of altered signal intensity within the suprasellar cistern as described. In the given clinical setting of trauma this may represent subarachnoid haemorrhage.

The fourth ventricle is normal. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
Incidental note is made of pansinusitis. The normal intraocular lens is not seen bilaterally (? the result of previous cataract surgery).
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of areas of altered signal intensity within the periventricular white matter, corona radiata, centrum semiovale, caudate and lentiform nuclei, pons and the external capsules bilaterally and are most likely ischemic in etiology.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzndu / Dr. Abc Xyzdi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O paresthesias in BLE with inability to stand since 2-3 days.
H/O tuberculosis of spine since September 0000. On AKT since then.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
Diffuse areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images are seen to involve the D1 and D2 vertebral bodies and their spinous processes and pedicles, laminae and transverse processes on the right side. Also seen is similar involvement of the pedicle, transverse process and lamina of the D3 vertebra on the right side. The head and neck of the D2 and D3 ribs on the right side appear to be involved.
There is evidence of a large soft tissue component within the prevertebral soft tissues (right more than left) and within the paraspinal and paravertebral soft tissues on the right side over the C6/C7 to D4 vertebral levels. This soft tissue component is
hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and turns relatively hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is encroachment into the neural foramina on the right side at the D1-D2 and D2-D3 levels. This soft tissue component is also seen to lie within the right lateral and posterior epidural space over the C7-D1 to D3-D4 levels. There is resultant compression and displacement of the spinal cord anteriorly and to the left over these levels. The cord over these levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images suggestive of cord edema/ischemia/myelitis.
Note is made of pleural thickening on the right side. There is a suspicious old fracture of the odontoid process. Enlarged paratracheal lymph nodes are identified on the right side.
The CSF in the visualized upper dorsal region appears more hyperintense than normal and may be due to increased protein content.
The visualized cervico-dorsal intervertebral discs show loss of water content.
IMPRESSION :
In a known C/O tuberculosis, the MRI features are suggestive of involvement of the D1, D2 and D3 vertebrae with soft tissue extensions and cord compression with cord edema/ischemia/myelitis over the C7-D1 to D3-D4 levels.
However similar features may be seen in neoplastic processes like small cell tumors.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzkar Mapelmn / M / 20 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzgrankar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Left Leg.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O swelling over the left leg since 4 months and paresthesias.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the left leg was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR axial images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of a lobulated mass lesion which is hyperintense to muscle but hypointense to fat on the T1 Weighted images and turns hyperintense to both on the T2 Weighted, STIR and GRASS images within the anterior compartment of the left calf. Few areas which are markedly hyperintense on all the pulse sequences are seen within this lesion and these may represent blood/paramagnetic substances. Also seen within this lesion are areas which are hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and turn markedly hyperintense on the T2 Weighted, STIR and GRASS images and these may represent cystic/necrotic changes.
This lesion appears to be involving the extensor digitorum longus and extensor hallucis longus muscles. The tibialis anterior and peroneus longus/brevis muscles are displaced by this lesion (? involved). Also seen is disruption of the interosseus membrane with extension into the posterior compartment with displacement of the tibialis posterior and flexor hallucis longus muscles. This lesion is seen to drape (3/4th of its circumference) the upper two-thirds of the shaft of the left fibula. It is also seen to abut the left tibia. However no obvious bone destruction or signal change is evident.
The anterior tibial vessels cannot be identified separately from this lesion.
The superior aspect of this lesion is approximately 6.0 cms from the knee joint.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a mass lesion within the anterior compartment of the left calf as described and this most likely represents a soft tissue neoplasm. The differential diagnosis may include :
a. Myxoma.
b. Hemangioma.
c. Nerve sheath tumor.
d. Soft tissue sarcoma/liposarcoma.
