Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzl lmn / F / 10 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzrade.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
Known C/O PNET, operated in February 0000. For follow up.
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 is a large well-defined mass lesion in the right thalamus which is seen to extend superiorly into the right corona radiata and centrum semiovale and measures approximately 3.6 x 3.2 x 6.0 cms. The predominant portion of this lesion is hypointense to white matter on the T1 Weighted images and turns heterogeneously hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. Curvilinear hyperintense signal on the T1 Weighted images is seen at the periphery of this lesion which turns hypointense on the T2 Weighted images and would represent altered blood/calcification/paramagnetic substance deposition. An ill-defined hypointense area on the T1 Weighted images is seen antero-superior to this lesion which turns hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images would represent edema. There is probable involvement of the body of the corpus callosum on the right side. There is mass effect with compression upon the body of the right ventricle and third ventricle with shift of the midline structures to the left.
A ventriculostomy tube tract is seen in the right posterior parietal region. Note is made of right frontal craniotomy with post-operative changes.
The fourth ventricle is normal.
No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
In a known C/O PNET, the MRI features are suggestive of a mass lesion measuring approximately 3.6 x 3.2 x 6.0 in the right corona radiata and centrum semiovale with mass effect and extensions as described, would represent residual/recurrent tumor.
No previous investigations were available for comparison.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Mrs. Aruna A. Sheth, female, aged 40 years, had got an MRI brain done with us on 00.00.00 (study no:00001). Her H/O seizures was mistakenly mentioned by us in our report. We have also confirmed this with her refering physician Dr. Abc Xyzh, who confirms that she has never suffered from seizures.
The error is regretted.
Thanking you
Sincerely,

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzSlmn / F / 40 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures since 2 1/2 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.
OBSERVATION :
There are small bright foci on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the subcortical white matter in the left frontal region. These lesions appear nearly iso to hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images.
The hippocampal complex is unremarkable on either side.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal in the subcortical white matter in the left frontal region is most likely ischemic in etiology.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzlata Mlmn / F /70 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc XyzBhatkar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain and
Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O left sided hemiparesis 1 1/2 years ago. Recovered partially.
Similar complaints 2 months back with speech disturbance.
Altered behavioral pattern with difficulty in walking since 8 days.
Known hypertensive. On Rx.
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.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images through the
sella and perisellar region.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.
OBSERVATION :
BRAIN :
There is volume loss in the right temporo-parieto-occipital region. There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images along the cortex and the subcortical white matter in the temporo-parieto-occipital region. This lesion follows CSF signal on all the pulse sequences and represents an area of cystic encephalomalacia, most likely the sequelae of a previous vascular insult. Perilesional white matter hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images would represent gliotic changes.
..2/.
There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the right inferior frontal and frontal regions, right high fronto-parietal region and in the right lentiform nucleus, head of right caudate nucleus and right corona radiata. This lesion appears hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and represents a subacute infarct. Peripheral hyperintense signal on the T1 Weighted images around this lesion would represent paramagnetic substance deposition.
The right cerebral peduncle appears smaller in size as compared to the left and shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images due to ? ischemic changes ?? Walerian degeneration.
There is mild dilatation of both the lateral and the third ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci, cerebellar folia and the basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. There is no shift of the midline structures.
The petrous and cavernous segments of the right internal carotid artery show an intraluminal signal on all the pulse sequences.
There is widening of the floor of the sella. There is seen an approximately 2.5 x 1.5 x 2.0 cms sized mass lesion in the sella, extending into the suprasellar region. This lesion is of intermediate signal on the T1 Weighted images and appears hypointense on the T2 Weighted images. Minimal indentation on the optic chiasma is noted. There is no extension of the lesion into the cavernous sinuses bilaterally.
INTRACRANIAL & NECK MRA :
The right internal carotid artery is not visualized in its entirety, from its bifurcation from the right common carotid artery in the neck (a very small, 5.0 cms long stump is noted at the right carotid bifurcation). The right external carotid artery is slightly irregular. The left common carotid artery and its bifurcation and the left vertebral artery are unremarkable. The right vertebral artery is hypoplastic.
..3/.
- 3 - Scan-00000
There is faint visualization of the supraclinoid segment of the
right internal carotid artery (? retrograde flow) and the right middle cerebral artery. The Sylvian branches of the right middle cerebral artery are faintly visualized. The right anterior cerebral artery is most likely filling from the opposite side.
Irregularity of the basilar artery is noted. The right posterior cerebral artery is also not well-identified.
The intracranial circulation on the left side appears unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
1. Areas of cystic encephalomalacia in the right temporo-parieto-occipital region with volume loss most likely the sequelae of a previous vascular insult.
2. Altered signal in the right inferior frontal and frontal regions, right high fronto-parietal region and in the right lentiform nucleus, head of right caudate nucleus and right corona radiata most likely represent a subacute infarct.
3. An approximately 2.5 x 1.5 x 2.0 cms sized mass lesion in the sella, extending into the suprasellar region most likely represents a pituitary adenoma.
4. Non-visualization of the right internal carotid artery nearly in its entirety would suggest thrombosis of the vessels.
5. Irregularity of the basilar artery would suggest atherosclerotic changes.
6. Mild cerebral cortical and cerebellar atrophy.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.
5 mm thick FLAIR and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an approximately 3.0 x 3.5 x 3.2 cms sized mass lesion in the left thalamus extending into the left corona radiata. This lesion is of mixed signal characteristic and is predominantly hypointense on the T1 Weighted images with a central, slightly hyperintense signal. On the proton and T2 Weighted images, the central area appears significantly hypointense whereas the peripheral segment of the lesion turns mildly hyperintense. There is perilesional edema.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with fever since 4-5 months.
H/O weakness of BLE since 10-15 days.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar 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 :
There is partial collapse of the D12 and L1 vertebral bodies. These vertebral bodies and pedicles appear hypointense to normal marrow on the T1 Weighted images and appear heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The D12-L1 intervertebral disc is also involved with erosion of the adjacent cortical endplates. There also appears to be involvement of both the transverse processes of the D12 and L1 vertebrae with probable involvement of the right costo-vertebral joint at D12. There is seen an intermediate signal intensity soft tissue lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the left paravertebral region extending over the D11 to L4 vertebral levels. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and shows multiple internal septae suggesting a left psoas abscess. A similar signal intensity lesion, but to a smaller extent is noted in the right paravertebral region extending over the D11 to L3 vertebral levels. Extension of this soft tissue lesion into the D12-L1 neural foramina bilaterally is noted with mild extension into the anterior epidural space at the D12 and L1 levels with mild indentation upon the dorsal spinal cord at these levels. The lower dorsal spinal cord however shows normal signal intensity.
Ill-defined, altered signal (hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images) is also noted in the D11, L3 and L4 vertebral bodies, with probable involvement of the L3-L4 intervertebral disc.
A cystic lesion (isointense to CSF) is noted in the region of the superior pole of the right kidney which may either represent a cortical renal cyst or extension of the right paravertebral abscess into the right suprarenal region (scans 104.12, 105.12).
The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The remaining dorso-lumbar intervertebral discs show loss of water content. The facet joints at the D12-L1 level appears slightly hypertrophied.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1-L2 level.
IMPRESSION :
Partial collapse of the D12 and L1 vertebral bodies with altered signal and involvement of the D12-L1 intervertebral disc as described suggests osteitis with discitis (most likely tuberculous in etiology). Paravertebral soft tissue lesion would represent an abscess. Extension of the abscess into the anterior epidural space is noted at the D12 and L1 levels with minimal cord compression.
Altered signal is also noted in the D11, L3 and L4 vertebral bodies with probable involvement of the L3-L4 intervertebral disc.
