Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely accessible imaging technique for the detection of brain tumours and cancer, which are further confirmed by histopathological examination. Accurate detection of the tumours and its extent is very difficult. The present study attempted to evaluate the convenience of MRI in detection of different grades of astrocytomas, which are the most commonly occurring brain tumours. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiology and Imaging with the collaboration of Department of Neurosurgery and Department of Pathology at Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC & MH), Dhaka from January 2013 to December 2013 for a period of one year. The study population was all the diagnosed cases of intracranial astrocytoma patients regardless of their age and sex. The studied included 48 brain tumour (astrocytoma) patients, ages between 13 and 69 years old. All cases having no contraindication for MRI underwent MR examination followed by histopathological examination of the postoperative resected tissues. The findings of the MRI and histopathological examination were compared to find out the test validity of the MRI findings of the different grades of astrocytoma’s. The highest sensitivity was found in grade III astrocytoma (90.5%) followed by grade II (85.7%) grade IV (75.0%) and grade I (60.0%). The highest specificity was found in grade I astrocytoma (97.7%) followed by Grade III (96.3%), grade IV (92.5%) and grade II (91.5%). The highest accuracy was found in both grade I astrocytoma (93.7%) and grade III (93.7%) followed by grade II (92.5%) and grade IV (89.6%). As per the study findings it can be concluded that,MRI has a high diagnostic accuracy and validity for the detection of different grades of astrocytoma. Bangladesh Med J. 2017 Sep; 46 (3): 85-89

Purpose: To assess image quality and overall accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including two magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) techniques, for the diagnostics and preoperative work-up of malignant hilar obstructions. Material and Methods: Thirty-one patients with malignant hilar obstructions (hilar cholangiocarcinoma, n = 30; hepatocellular carcinoma, n = 1) received MRCP by two techniques (single-shot thick-slab and multisection thin-slice MRCP) and unenhanced and contrast material-enhanced MRI. MR assessment included the evaluation of image quality and visualization of bile ducts (5-point scale), and the classification of tumor status. MR results were subsequently correlated with the results from surgery and pathology. Results: The maximum intensity projections of multisection thin-slice MRCP had significantly more artifacts compared to MRCP in the single-shot thick-slab technique, and overall image quality of single-shot thick-slab MRCP was rated significantly superior compared to multisection thin-slice MRCP (4.4±0.7 and 4.1±0.9, respectively). Moreover, ductal visualization of different parts of the biliary system was rated superior with single-shot thick-slab MRCP. In contrast, the original data from multisection thin slice MRCP facilitated visualization of periductal lesions and adjacent structures. Overall MR accuracy for the assessment of tumor status, periductal infiltration, and lymph node metastases was 90%, 87%, and 66%, respectively. Conclusion: For evaluation of malignant hilar obstructions, MRCP by the single-shot thick-slab technique had superior image quality and fewer artifacts; in contrast, besides sole biliary visualization, multisection MRCP depicted complementary adjacent parenchymal and periductal structures. We therefore recommend MRI, with a combination of both MRCP techniques, for the diagnostic work-up and therapy planning of malignant hilar obstructions.
