Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is generally considered better than computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of Cerebral lesions but this belief has never been substantiated for the full range of patients in whom this diagnosis is suspected Aims and Objectives: To study of CT and MRI-Head for the Detection Acute Cerebral Haemorrhage. Methodology: After approval of institutional ethical committee this cross-sectional study carried out in the patients with suspected of intracranial bleeding at tertiary health center during the two year period i.e. January 2015 to January 2017 referred to the Radiology department of the tertiary health care centre. The details of information clinical history age was noted. All the patients gone through the investigations like MRI and CT consequently. Analyzed by Chi-square test calculated by SPSS 19 version software. Result: The majority of the patients were in the age group of >60 i.e. 57.5% followed by 50-60 were 22.5%, 40-50-13%, 30-40-6%, 20-30 -1%. The majority of the patients were Males i.e. 70.50% and Females were 29.50. For any Haemorrhage MRI positive in 71 ( 35.50%) and CT in 32 (16.00%) this difference is significant (P<0.0001,X2=47.73, df=1), For Acute haemorrhage MRI positive in 47 (23.50%) and CT in 9 (4.50%) but the difference is not significant ( P>0.75, X2=0.09, df=1), For Chronic haemorrhage CT positive in 28(14.00%) cases and in MRI 23 (11.50%) the difference is statistically significant (P<0.0001,X2=121.8, df=1). Conclusions: It can be concluded from our study that MRI was superior to CT in the diagnosis of all types and equal in acute but less superior CT in the diagnosis of chronic haemorrhage.
