Background: Temporal bone imaging has always been a challenge. Though infections and trauma are the most common pathologies encountered; a wide range of neoplasms affect this region which can become a serious threat if overlooked. Computed Tomography (CT) plays a crucial role in diagnosis and characterization of these neoplasms. It is very helpful to evaluate the extent of the lesion and involvement of adjacent structures, helping to decide appropriate management. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of our study was primarily to evaluate various neoplasms in the temporal region based on CT findings in patients presenting to the radiology department in a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: The prospective study done over a period of 2 years in the Department of Radio-diagnosis at Dr. Vasantrao Pawar Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Nashik included 26 patients with neoplasms involving the temporal region. CT scan of all these patients was performed on Siemens Somatom Perspective (128 slice). The imaging findings were correlated with histopathological and surgical findings wherever available. Results: The study comprised of 26 patients in which bulk of the patient’s i.e. 42% had features of vestibular schwannoma on imaging. Glomus tumour and cerebellopontine angle epidermoid cyst found in 15% and 11% of patients, respectively were the other common lesions. Neoplasms were most common in the age group of 41 to 50 years. There was female preponderance (62%) amongst patients. Headache and hearing loss were the most common complaint. Conclusion: We can ascertain from this study that neoplasms in the temporal region show characteristic findings on CT imaging. These imaging characteristics coupled with other imaging and clinical findings help us to achieve an accurate diagnosis. Imaging techniques enables a reliable non-invasive assessment of these neoplasms.Keywords

Background and Objective: Knee joint is the complex joint. It is much frequently injured joint due to trauma. The principle intra articular structures in the knee are the 2 cruciate ligaments, 2 menisci and the 2 collateral ligaments. The main objective is to study the MRI findings in ligament injuries of knee joint. Materials and Methods: MRI knee of 110 patients with suspected ligament injuries of knee joint was performed on 1.5-T MR system using flexible surface knee coil. Results: A total of 110 patients in a period of 2 years were collected and analysed comprising of either single ligament or combination of ligament tears. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear was most common and seen in 61 patients followed by Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) in 31, Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) in 22 and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) in 16 patients. Majority of the patients belonged to age group 18-30 years with right knee involvement. Males dominated in this study constituting 63.64% of total population. Conclusion: MRI is non-invasive prime imaging modality with nonionizing radiation and multi planar capabilities. It accurately detects, localizes and characterizes various ligament injuries of the knee joint and help in arriving at accurate final diagnosis thereby guiding further management of the patient.Keywords
