Abstract

Background- Ring enhancing lesions are one of the most common neuroimaging abnormalities encountered by the radiologists.

Methods-This study was a prospective observational study. The study included 120 patients referred to the department of Radiodiagnosis in SMS medical college, Jaipur with clinically suspected ring enhancing lesions or those detected on contrast enhanced CT scan in the period of 1yrs.

Results- Out of the 120 patients that we evaluated, tuberculomas (42.5%) was the most common pathology followed by NCC (33.33 %), Abscesses (10%), metastasis (10.8%), and toxoplasma infection (1.67%).

Conclusion- MRI being non invasive and nonradiating is an ideal imaging modality. Multiplanar capability of MRI was helpful in identifying precise anatomical location and the exact extent of lesions.
