Abstract

Objectives: To observe the accuracy of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans in evaluating neurological disorders.

Methods: This retrospective research used CT or MRI to diagnose and characterize brain disorders. Patients' records suffering from neurological disorders were considered eligible for inclusion, regardless of the time of appearance of symptoms, the severity of their symptoms, or their final clinical diagnosis. The exclusion criteria for this study involved patients who did not undergo either a CT or MRI scan. A chi-square test was performed to observe the association between the study variables. A total of 3155 cases were analyzed.

Results: The most prevalent comorbid was dyslipidemia 670 (21.6%) followed by hypertension 548 (17.6%). Overall brain disorders were confirmed in 2426 (77%) patients. It was observed that half of the patients 1543 (48.9%) were diagnosed with stroke. It was found that the accuracy of CT and MRI was 78% and 74% respectively. The association of modalities, patient type, and gender with the confirmation of diseases was not found significant (p=>0.05).

Conclusion: Our study revealed that CT and MRI were accurate by more than 75% and no difference was between both techniques to detect neurological disorders.

放射学模式在诊断和描述脑部疾病方面的有效性。

目的观察计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）扫描评估神经系统疾病的准确性：这项回顾性研究使用 CT 或 MRI 诊断和描述脑部疾病。无论症状出现的时间、症状的严重程度或最终临床诊断如何，神经系统疾病患者的病历均被视为符合纳入条件。本研究的排除标准包括未接受 CT 或 MRI 扫描的患者。为观察研究变量之间的联系，我们进行了卡方检验。共分析了 3155 个病例：最常见的合并症是血脂异常 670 例（21.6%），其次是高血压 548 例（17.6%）。有 2426 名（77%）患者确诊患有脑部疾病。据观察，1543 名（48.9%）患者中有一半被诊断为中风。研究发现，CT 和 MRI 的准确率分别为 78% 和 74%。研究发现，各种模式、患者类型和性别与疾病确诊的关系并不显著（P=>0.05）：我们的研究表明，CT 和 MRI 的准确率均超过 75%，两种技术在检测神经系统疾病方面没有差异。

期刊介绍： Neurosciences is an open access, peer-reviewed, quarterly publication. Authors are invited to submit for publication articles reporting original work related to the nervous system, e.g., neurology, neurophysiology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurorehabilitation, neurooncology, neuropsychiatry, and neurogenetics, etc. Basic research withclear clinical implications will also be considered. Review articles of current interest and high standard are welcomed for consideration. Prospective workshould not be backdated. There are also sections for Case Reports, Brief Communication, Correspondence, and medical news items. To promote continuous education, training, and learning, we include Clinical Images and MCQ’s. Highlights of international and regional meetings of interest, and specialized supplements will also be considered. All submissions must conform to the Uniform Requirements.
