Findings and procedure details
12 patients who were suspected of leukodystrophy clinically underwent MRI using 1.5t Philips Achieva machine withSense Head coils.
The following sequences will be selected as required.
- Localizer sequence conventional spin echo.
- Sagittal FLAIR,
STIR,
T1 FS
- Axial and sagittal T1 images
- Axial,
sagittal and coronal T2 images
- Proton density images.
- Diffusion weighted imaging and ADC map
- Axial Grey matter only and white matter only sequences
- OPTIONAL SEQUENCES:
- DTI and FT; IV contrast study; TOF angiography shall be included in the study as and when required.
MRI findings correlated with biochemical parameters (for metabolites) where feasible to increase the accuracy of diagnosis.
