Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzed Almn / M / 22 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzrekh.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache since 2 years with numbness in the lower lumbar region.
H/O fall 2 1/2 years back.
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.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
The dorsal spine was screened with 4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
The L3 vertebral body is as marked on the film.
There is Grade I spondylolisthesis of the L5 over the S1 vertebra with probable spondylolysis at L5, bilaterally.
There are ill-defined, hyperintense areas on the T2 Weighted images in the L4, L5 and S1 vertebral bodies. These areas appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images. The L5-S1 intervertebral disc is also reduced in height and appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Similar signal intensity changes are noted in the D12 and L1 vertebral bodies and the D12-L1 intervertebral disc. The D12 and L1 vertebral bodies are slightly wedged, anteriorly. Altered signal is also noted in the sacral ala on the right and in the left iliac bone adjacent to the left sacro-iliac joint. Involvement of the left sacro-iliac joint per se is noted.
..2/.
There is an intermediate signal intensity soft tissue lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissues at the L5 and S1 vertebral levels and in the anterior epidural space over the L4 to S1 vertebral levels. This lesion also appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Encasement of the L5 nerve roots in the neural foramen bilaterally is noted.
At the D12 and L1 vertebral levels, soft tissue lesion is noted in the anterior epidural space and in the right paravertebral region involving the right psoas muscle. Indentation on the lower dorsal spinal cord at the D12/L1 levels is also noted. The lower dorsal spinal cord at these levels show a subtle hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images which suggest cord edema/ischemia.
The rest of the lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S1 level.
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal in the D12, L1, L4, L5 and S1 vertebral bodies and the D12-L1 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs most likely suggest osteitis with discitis, probably tuberculous in etiology. Paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesion at these levels would represent granulation/abscess. There is mild cord compression at the D12 and L1 levels with subtle cord signal alteration suggesting cord edema/ischemia.
The possibility of these lesions representing neoplasm seems less likely.
Altered signal is also noted in the ala of the sacrum on the right, left iliac bone adjacent to the left sacro-iliac joint and the left sacro-iliac joint per se.

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzChaurlmn / F / 11 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzauhan.
Examination : M.R.I. of Both Hips.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain in the right hip joint since 1 year with a limp and inability to bend RLE.

M.R.I of both hips was performed using the following parameters:
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an expansile lesion in the right ischial bone, which appears hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Probable fracture to the right ischial bone is noted. There is thickening of the synovium of the right hip joint with a right hip joint effusion. There is slight loss of normal contour of the right acetabulum. The epiphysis of the right femoral head is slightly hypointense on the T1 Weighted images. The trochanters and the neck of the right femur show normal signal intensity. The articular cartilage overlying the right femoral head is unremarkable. Minimal extension of the right ischial lesion is noted along the right lateral pelvic wall. There is slight decrease in the bulk of the muscles around the right hip joint.
The visualized left hip joint is unremarkable.
Small, subcentimeter inguinal lymph nodes are noted bilaterally.
IMPRESSION :
Slightly expansile right ischial bone with altered signal and a probable fracture through it is not specific for a single etiology. An infective lesion (probably tuberculous) is a likely possibility in view of the associated synovitis and right hip joint effusion.
A neoplastic process cannot be entirely excluded.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzal Gokalgalmn / M / 69 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzmpat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O right sided weakness since 15 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 and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is a well-defined, approximately 3.0 x 2.3 x 2.8 cms sized mass lesion in the left thalamus, extending superiorly into the left corona radiata. This lesion has a hyperintense periphery and a hypointense centre on the T1 Weighted images. This is seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images, with a peripheral hypointense rim on the Fast Scan (T2 *) images. There is mild perilesional edema with indentation upon the body of the left lateral and third ventricles. There is probable dissection of this bleed into the left lateral ventricle.
There are ill-defined hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the posterior parietal deep white matter bilaterally. These lesions appear iso to hypointense to white matter on the T1 Weighted images and most likely represent ischemic changes.
There is mild fullness of both the lateral and third ventricles.
The fourth ventricle is normal. There is prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
An approximately 3.0 x 2.3 x 2.8 cms sized mass lesion in the left thalamus extending superiorly into the left corona radiata represents a subacute hematoma.
As compared to the previous T2 Weighted axial images in the MRA study no:00000 dated 00.00.00, there is a slight decrease in the perilesional edema around the lesion. A hemosiderin rim is now identified around the lesion. There is however, no significant change in the size of the lesion and the ventricles on this study.
