- W2946777513 abstract "Objective To determine the diagnostic accuracy of echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of intra-cerebral abscesses by taking histopathological findings as the gold standard. Subject and methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed from July 2014 to June 2015 at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi. A total of 462 patients, who were referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain, presenting with clinical suspicion of an intra-cerebral abscess on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms, were included in this study. MR imaging was performed. All patients subsequently underwent surgery. The histopathological findings of these patients were collected and compared with echo-planar diffusion-weighted MRI findings. A proforma was used to record the findings. Results The mean age of the patients was 47.39±13.54 years. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of echo-planar diffusion-weighted MRI in the diagnosis of intra-cerebral abscesses was 85.64%, 95.88%, 93.82%, 90.14%, and 91.56%, respectively. Conclusion Brain abscesses and necrotic tumors are, most of the time, difficult to differentiate on routine conventional imaging, and prompt diagnosis is important, as an untreated brain abscess could be lethal. Diffusion imaging can aid in the diagnosis and further management plan so as to help in improved patient care. Although this sequence has high sensitivity and specificity, it should be used in addition to conventional imaging and not as a replacement of histopathology." @default.
