Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyza P. Glmn / F / 13 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhari.
Examination : M.R.I. of Both Hips.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O pain in the right hip region with limp on the right side since 2 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of both hips was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is an ill-defined, hypointense focus on the T1 Weighted images in the epiphysis of the right femoral head (scan 102.8). This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. The right femoral head shows normal contour.

The left femoral head and the acetabulum reveal normal signal intensity. There is no obvious bony destruction or erosions noted. The articular cartilages are unremarkable. There is no effusion within both the hip joints.

The musculature surrounding the right hip joint appears atrophied as compared to the left. The visualized pelvis is normal.

IMPRESSION :

Focal altered signal in the epiphysis of the right femoral head is not specific for a single etiology.

Early osteonecrosis of the right femoral epiphysis is a likely possibility. The possibility of an infective etiology is less likely.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzndel.
Examination : Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O numbness in the RUE and right side of the face.
Also C/O speech disturbances since 1 month.

EXAMINATION :

The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images, 3 mm thick FLAIR coronal images and 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.

OBSERVATION :

There is an ill-defined hypointense area on the T1 Weighted images in the left frontal region. This is seen to follow CSF signal characteristics on all the pulse sequences. Hyperintense areas are noted at the periphery of this lesion on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and may repersent area of gliosis. Subtle hyperintense signal is seen on the T1 Weighted images at the periphery of this lesion which may represent altered blood/paramagnetic substances.

There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci.

Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.

..2/.




R>
Slight narrowing of the P1 segment of the left posterior cerebral artery is noted.

The petrous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally and the cavernous segment of the right internal carotid artery show normal signal and calibre. The visualized anterior cerebral, middle cerebral, basilar, vertebral and right posterior cerebral artery also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.

NECK MRA :

There is a small filling defect in the posterior aspect in the
internal carotid arteries bilaterally just distal to the common carotid bifurcation, which may be flow related artifacts.

There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the neck and proximal shaft of the left femur. Probable break in continuity (? fracture) of the neck of the left femur is noted (scans 104.7 & 104.8). The head of the left femur shows an irregular margin.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzra Kotlmn / M / 33 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzzzare.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O sudden onset of weakness of BUE with inability to lift up the LUE since 00.00.00.

The spinal cord at this level shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images which is iso to hypointense to the normal cord on the T1 Weighted images and would represent cord edema/ischemia/contusion.

There is replacement of the normal marrow of the C5 vertebral body by hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images which is seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. There is fracture of the lamina of the C4 vertebra bilaterally and the spinous process.

A left paracentral disc herniation is seen at the C5-C6 level with antero-lateral indentation of the cord and left neural foraminal narrowing. Mild indentation upon the left C6 nerve root is noted.

The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. Retroplacement of the C5 over the C6 vertebral body with altered signal of the C5 vertebral body represents bone edema/bruise, probably due to previous trauma, in the given clinical setting.

2. Altered signal of the spinal cord at the C5 and C6 vertebral levels would represent cord edema/ischemia/contusion.

3. Fracture of the lamina of the C4 vertebra bilaterally and the spinous process.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzn Kumar lmn / M / 27 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdy.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Left Wrist.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O pain and swelling (progressive) over the left wrist since 3 months.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the left wrist was performed using the following parameters :

3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted, STIR and Gradient (with fat saturation)
coronal images.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is a large, lobulated expansile well-marginated mass lesion in the distal end of the ulna on the left side. This lesion measures approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cms and 3.5 cms in its cranio-caudate dimension. There is a well-defined area between the lesion and the normal marrow. This lesion is slightly hyperintense to muscle with few hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images. This is seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted, Gradient and the STIR images. Hypointense areas are seen to turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and may represent cystic/necrotic change. There is a break in the cortex anteriorly with slight extension into the anterior soft tissues and anterior displacement of the flexor tendon. The distal radio-ulnar joint is involved. Suspicious involvement of the left wrist joint is also noted. Hyperintense signal is also noted in the subcutaneous region along the medial aspect of the left wrist.


The visualized radius appears normal.

The carpal bones of the left wrist show normal alignment and signal intensity. There is no obvious bone erosion or destruction seen. The intercarpal and radiocarpal joints are unremarkable. No joint effusion is noted.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of a large, expansile lobulated mass lesion in the distal end of the ulna on the left side measuring approximately 2.5 x 2.5 cms and 3.5 cms in its cranio-caudate dimension with extensions as described. This most probably represents a giant cell tumor.
