BACKGROUND Brain tumours represents 1.7 % of all cancers and contributes 1.8 % of all cancer deaths. Of all the brain tumours, 80 % are supratentorial.1 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important modality, having higher sensitivity for detecting intracranial pathology. Multiplanar imaging is possible with MRI which helps in detection, localization and characterization of the lesion. MRI examination has helped in early diagnosis, accurate localization of the tumour, with prompt initiation of appropriate medical or surgical therapy. Recent advances like magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, MR fluoroscopy with stereotactic guided biopsy have revolutionized the role of MRI in study of intracranial tumours. METHODS A cross sectional study of 75 patients was done by Siemens Essenza 1.5T MRI from June 2018 to June 2020 using dedicated head coil. RESULTS In our study, most of the patients were between 31 - 60 years of age (39 % of all patients) with the largest group between 31 - 40 years (20 % of all patients). Out of 75 cases of supratentorial neoplasms, 47 (72 %) were intra-axial lesions, 15 (23 %) were extra-axial lesions and 3 (5 %) were intra ventricular lesions. In this study, 69 % of the lesions were solitary and 31 % were multiple. Most of patients (89 %) showed some enhancement, most common being heterogeneous/inhomogeneous enhancement. Commonest type of supratentorial neoplasms were metastases comprising 29 % of this study. CONCLUSIONS Magnetic resonance imaging is an important modality, having higher sensitivity for detecting intracranial pathology. Multiplanar imaging is possible with MRI which helps in early detection, localization and characterization of the lesion. Metastasis is the most common supratentorial tumour in this study followed by meningioma. Intra-axial tumours are more common than extra-axial tumours in this study.

BACKGROUND Echocardiography is considered as a traditional approach to clinically study dilated cardiomyopathy. Because of poor apical visibility, however, volumetric calculations are difficult to ascertain. In calculating left ventricle volumes and ejection fractions, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has shown to be more accurate than echocardiography. Due to conflicting literature, the present study was conducted to diagnose dilated cardiomyopathy using 2 D - echocardiography and correlate these echocardiographic findings with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Radio-diagnosis and Imaging, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical sciences, Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, Pin 515134. The study group consisted of consecutive patients who had clinical suspicion of dilated cardiomyopathy. A total of 40 patients underwent both 2 D - echo and cardiac MRI on the same day. All patients underwent 2 - D echo which was performed at the frame rate of 40 - 80 frames per second in the left lateral decubitus position to obtain standard 2, 3, and 4 chambers as well as short axis views (GE Vingmed Vivid 7 Dimensions, Horton, Norway: 2.5 MHz transducer). MRI was performed on a 1.5 T scanner (Mangnetom Aera, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). For patient monitoring and cardiac synchronization, 3 - lead electrocardiography was used. RESULTS In the present study, in comparison to reference standard (cardiac MRI), 2 D - echocardiography showed significant and systematic underestimation of enddiastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV) and stroke volume (SV). Good correlation between 2 D - echo and cardiac MRI was noted for end-diastolic volume (r = 0.89), stroke volume (r = 0.60) and ejection fraction (r = 0.75). CONCLUSIONS In summary, magnetic resonance imaging is an accurate, non-invasive, safe and advanced modality for evaluation of global left ventricular function and myocardial scarring. 2 D - echocardiography can be used for screening of the patients with clinically suspected dilated cardiac myopathy (DCM) and their follow up.
