Keywords:
spinal tumors, histopathological findings, MRIAbstract
Objective: The objective of the study is usefulness of diagnostic MRI in evaluation of spinal tumors. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Radiology Department, Dhiraj Hospital, SBKS medical college, Pipariya, Vadodara. The data was collected from July 2021 to March 2022 and total 60 patients were included in the study. Data was collected from MRI diagnosed spinal tumors who attended at Radiology and Imaging department from OPD and indoor patients. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of MRI for evaluation of spinal tumors were detected. Results: Out of 60 patients 31 (51.6%) was intradural extramedullary, 15 (25.0%) was extradural and 13 (21.6%) was intramedullary. Distribution of patients according to MR diagnosis, among the 60 patients 49 were diagnosed spinal tumor and 11 were not spinal tumor by MRI. Among the 49 spinal tumor diagnosed 13 (26.5%) were schwannoma, 02(4.0%) were neuro fibroma, 12(24.4%) were meningioma, 08(16.3%) were ependymoma, 06(12.2%) were astrocytoma, 03(6.1%) were metastasis and 2 (4.0%) was osteoblastoma. Out of all cases 49 were diagnosed as spinal tumour by MRI and among them 48 were confirmed by histopathological evaluation. They were true positive.
