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.

Fatty Liver Disease (FLD) is described as the accumulation of triglycerides within cytoplasmic vesicles of hepatocytes exceeding 5 percent of total liver weight. It is generally of two types: Alcoholic or Non-alcoholic FLD (NAFLD). It has a tendency to progress and cause steatohepatitis, brosis, cryptogenic cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, chronic liver disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome and adenocarcinomas. Objective: To nd association of Sonographic Grading of Fatty Liver Disease with Liver Function Tests and CT Hounseld units. The evaluation of the signicance of Ultrasound and LFTs over Computed Tomography is the aim of this study for the diagnosis of Fatty Liver Disease. Method: patients were undergone CT exams, Ultrasound exams and LFT tests for this this study (mean age: Their hepatic Hounseld units were obtained, Ultrasonographic grades were specied and LFTs were recorded. Results: The sonographic grading of fatty liver is significant/ not, taking HU value as standard. Conclusion: It is concluded that Ultrasound is effective in diagnosing this disease in all grades of FattyLiver Disease along with Liver Function Tests.
