What Does Lesion In The Right Frontal Area In A CT Scan Indicate?
I had a CT scan that shows a lesion in the right frontal area. CT appearance is consistent with a calcified meningioma. My MRI report just says no MR eveidence of acute intracranial process. Is the MRI ruling out the finding of the CT scan, or are these two different findings?

Welcome to health care magic.
1.The CT findings says that there is a calcified lesion - possibility of the meningioma which is a chronic process.
2.The MR features suggest there is a acute intracranial process - which mean there is acute process may be acute bleed or oedema.
3.This can be a acute process in the chronic / lesion.
4.It can not be ruled out the old calcified lesion - MRI has its specification and limitations. CT has property to evaluate the bony and calcific process.
5.MRI is good for acute bleed, nerves, ventricular system and so on.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
