Assessment of changes in brain metabolites in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy – One year hospital based cross sectional study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and potentially disabling disease which is reaching an epidemic proportion in many parts of the world and a major growing threat to global public health. Diabetes Mellitus has evolved into a global epidemic and India has the second largest population with diabetes. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus accompanied with baseline blood chemistry reports or history referred for a H-MRS during the study period at Department of Radio Diagnosis. Once a patient fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this study he / she was administered the predesigned / pretested proforma Demographic characteristics of the study population such as age, sex were obtained through an interview. In the present study, NAA was decreased in 65% of the patients. Choline, Creatine and Myoinisitol were normal in all the patients diabetes (i.e. it is normal) while, Glucose was increased in 90% of the patients and Glx (Glu+Gln) was increased in 80% of the patients.

Role of doppler sonographic evaluation of intra-renal hemodynamic changes in diagnosis of obstructive uropathy and in differentiation of acute and chronic obstructive uropathy
Background: Sonography is the most commonly used modality for initial evaluation and diagnosis of renal obstruction. Gray scale sonography can detect hydronephrosis and hydroureter proximal to the level of obstruction an...
Role of MR spectroscopy in evaluation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy
Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most frequent cause of focal and refractory seizures. MRS pectroscopy detects abnormalities that are invisible to conventional MRI. It has demonstrated consistent metabolic abnor...
The value of minimum intensity projection technique in the assessment of interstitial lung disease and asthma
CT produces a volume of data which can be manipulated, through a process known as windowing, in order to demonstrate various structures based on their ability to block the X-ray/Rontgen beam. Although image collimation i...
