CT Scan MRI

Normal BRAIN MRI REPORT Protocol :  A plain MR of the brain was performed, using routine turbo spin echo sequences in multiplanar planes of axial, sagittal and coronal planes using head coil. The sequences used were T1W TSE Axial, T2W TSE Axial, FLAIR Axial, T2W TSE Coronal, TIW TSE Sagittal. Findings :  Cerebral parenchyma reveals normal signal intensity with no evidence of focal or diffuse mass lesion. No evidence of focal altered white matter signal intensity is noted. Grey-white differentiation is maintained. Cortical sulci and extra-axial CSF spaces are normal.  Basal ganglia, thalami and internal capsule appear normal on either side. Ventricular system appears normal in morphology and signal intensity. Corpus callosum is normally visualized without any evidence of callosal thinning or altered signal intensity. Sellar structures & parasellar regions, optic tracts and chiasma appear normal without any abnormal altered  signal intensity. Basal cisterns and s

MRI OF LUMBAR SPINE Protocol  : A plain MRI of the lumbar spine was performed, using routine turbo spine sequences in multiple axial, coronal and sagittal planes using the spine coil. The sequences used were axial T1W and T2W TSE, coronal T2W TSE, sagittal T1W and T2W TSE along with fat supressed T2 screening of the SI joints in axial plane. Findings : There is mild straightening of the lumbar spine with normal posterior alignment of teh vertebral bodies. Normal adult marrow signals of the lumbar vertebrae are noted. The posterior elements are normal. Anterior and lateral marginal osteophytes are seen in the lower lumbar vertebrae. There is mild reduction of the height of the L3-4 lumbar disc with decreased and altered signal intensity of the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus on T2 images of L3-4 & L4-5 suggesting early disc dessication. There is evidence of postero-central and right para-central disc bulge at the level of L4-5  with minimal thecal in
