Role of MRI in the evaluation of status epilepticus

Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9

Abstract

The role of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the evaluation of various intracranial lesions has been evolving and increasing since its initial introduction as newer uses are being explored constantly. We review the imaging features of 41 cases of extra axial intracranial tumors and evaluate the role of diffusion weighted imaging in their diagnosis. Diffusion weighted imaging provides additional information in differentiating various intracranial tumors, in differentiating arachnoid cysts defining cystic/necrotic components of tumors.
