Background: The ring enhancing lesions of the brain are one of the most commonly encountered abnormalities on neuroimaging and pose a challenging group of lesions with the variable possibilities of diagnosis under conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Employing advanced techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) could increase the success rates of the diagnosis. Materials and Methods: 40 patients were evaluated in this study who are referred to department of radiodiagnosis, Kurnool Medical college from December 2023 to May 2024 over a period of 6 months. MRI along with MRS was performed on PHILIPS INGENIA 1.5 T. Inclusion Criteria: All suspected cerebral ring enhancing lesions detected on MR studies were taken up for MR Spectroscopy. Exclusion Criteria: Patient having contraindications to MRI. Results: Out of the 40 patients who were evaluated, tuberculoma 18 (45%) is the most common pathology followed by NCC 10(25%), Abscesses 5 (12.5%), metastases 5(12.5%) and primary brain tumors 2(5%). Conclusion: MRI along with MRS is the most sensitive modality in the characterization of intracranial ring enhancing lesions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
