MRI of Spine Metastases
Spine is the most common site of skeletal metastases, with thoracic spine > lumbar > cervical involvement. Early detection is crucial to prevent neurological compromise and guide oncologic management. MRI…
Imaging of Hand & Wrist Pathologies
Hand and wrist pathologies are common in clinical practice, often presenting with pain, restricted motion, or swelling. Radiology plays a crucial role in early diagnosis, staging, and management. Among these,…
Imaging in Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex synovial joint essential for mastication, speech, and jaw movement. TMJ disorders (TMDs) include a spectrum of conditions such as internal derangements, degenerative arthritis,…
Nuclear Bone Scan: Indications in Radiology
A bone scan (bone scintigraphy) using Technetium-99m MDP (Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate) is one of the most widely performed nuclear medicine studies. It evaluates bone turnover and perfusion and is highly…
Imaging of Intracranial Hemorrhage: Types & Key Features
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) represents bleeding within the skull, either in the brain parenchyma or its coverings. CT is the first-line modality for acute cases, while MRI is useful in subacute/chronic…
Imaging in Intracerebral Abscess
Intracerebral abscess is a focal, suppurative infection of the brain parenchyma caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites. Early and accurate imaging is critical to differentiate it from tumors or other…
CT Angiography in Stroke: Role, Technique & Key Findings
Stroke imaging has evolved from plain CT to advanced vascular and perfusion studies. CT Angiography (CTA) is now a cornerstone in the evaluation of acute ischemic stroke, guiding reperfusion therapy…
Imaging Findings in Migraine and Headaches
Most patients with headache have a normal brain MRI or CT, but imaging is often requested to rule out secondary causes. In migraine, subtle findings can sometimes be seen, and…

MRI Aging of Cerebral Infarction
The evolution of cerebral infarction produces time-dependent imaging changes on MRI. Recognizing these helps estimate the infarct age, guide thrombolysis/thrombectomy, and avoid misinterpretation. 🕒 Stages of Infarct & MRI Features…

Aging of Intracranial Hemorrhage on MRI
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) evolves through predictable biochemical stages, reflected as signal changes of hemoglobin breakdown products. Knowing these helps radiologists estimate the age of bleed. 🕒 Stages of Hemorrhage &…
