Introduction: Ligaments being the most important supporting structures injuries of ligaments and menisci are extremely common especially in active individuals like athletes. However ligament injury of knee in young due to trauma could lead to morbidity. It is an important reason for undergoing MR evaluation and assist in further arthroscopy and management. The present study was conducted among referred cases of acute painful knee for radiological evaluation, in order to study their MRI findings and its correlation with clinical presentations. Material and methods:The present study was conducted among 135 cases of acute knee injury, referred for radiological evaluation in the Department of Radiology at Krishna Medical College, KIMS, Karad. All the cases of acute knee injury consenting to participate in the study were included in the present study. These cases of acute knee injuries referred for radiological evaluation were assessed, examined and posted for MRI examination for diagnostic workup of the case. The data was collected using case record proforma. Results:In the present study we evaluated the referred cases of acute knee injury using magnetic resonance imaging technique to find out the exact pathology. We found 41.18% cases presented with anterior cruciate ligament tears followed by medial meniscus injury among 37.77% cases.Conclusion: MRI has been evolved as a diagnostic modality of choice in diagnosing various conditions causing acute painful knee such as ligament tears and meniscal tears etc.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common acute heart disease after myocardial infarction and stroke and is a major public health problem. PE is a disease that has high morbidity and mortality, yet it is challenging to obtain a diagnosis. Objective: The study aims to assess the role of MDCT-PA in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, and it's associated conditions in suspected cases of pulmonary embolism. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the department of radiology in KRISHNA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES DEEMED TO BE UNIVERSITY situated in KARAD equipped with a 16 slice MDCT scanner (EMOTION) manufactured by Siemens. Results: Through the study period of one and half year and have met the inclusion criteria, a total of 90 consecutive patients who presented with suspicion of PE were referred for MDCT-PA in the department of radio-diagnosis, Krishna Hospital, Karad. A review of all the cases was done, and the results were presented in the form of tables. Conclusion: Multidetector computed tomography pulmonary angiography can be used to confidently diagnose pulmonary embolism in which it is not contraindicated. MDCT-PA is the investigation of choice because it is a rapid, non-invasive study, highly sensitive and specific.
