Abstract :

 AIM

To study the correlation between the Pathological nature and the radiological appearance of primary Central Nervous System neoplastic lesions based on the two most commonly used and easily available investigations namely CT Brain plain and contrast and MRI Brain plain and contrast.

 

MATERIALS AND METHOD

The study was conducted on all the patients admitted in the concerned admitting unit with a diagnosis of a central nervous system tumour between  May 2013 to June 2015 at Thanjavur Medical College Hospital,Thanjavur. Total number of 243 patients were enrolled for the study.

 

 

 

CONCLUSSION

MRI had a higher or equal predictive value when compared to CT but statistically not significant. MRI had a higher predictive value for benign lesions than CT ain. Malignant lesions had  more or less equal value for both CT and  MRI low grade glioma is an important differential diagnosis for all the intrinsic tumours.
