analyse these scans and tell me where the infarct is so that i can tell this in my presentation tomorrow

Here is a structured summary of findings across all three scans for your presentation:

Patient: Mr. Bachan Singh, 78M | Swami Rama Himalayan University, Dehradun

Scan 1 - Non-Contrast CT Brain (1.jpeg)

Primary Finding: Left PCA Territory Infarct (Chronic)

Location: Left occipital lobe, with extension into the posterior temporal/parietal region
Territory: Left Posterior Cerebral Artery (PCA)
Appearance on CT: Large, wedge-shaped area of hypodensity (very dark, near-CSF density), indicating encephalomalacia - tissue loss consistent with a chronic (old) infarct
Ex-vacuo dilatation: The adjacent occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle is enlarged, pulled toward the area of tissue loss (a hallmark sign of chronicity)
No midline shift, no mass effect
Additional findings: Diffuse cerebral atrophy (age-related), periventricular white matter hypodensities consistent with chronic microvascular ischemic disease (leukoaraiosis)

Clinical correlate: Left occipital infarct → Right homonymous hemianopia (loss of the right visual hemifield in both eyes)

Scans 2 & 3 - MRI Brain (Multiple Sequences) (2.jpeg & 3.jpeg)

Both MRI films are from Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust, Swami Ram Nagar, Dehradun - likely the same patient with follow-up/characterization imaging.

Sequences visible:

T2-weighted, T1-weighted, FLAIR, DWI (diffusion-weighted), and ADC sequences are all present across the two films

Key MRI Findings:

Feature	Detail
Location	Left occipital lobe (posterior cerebral hemisphere)
Territory	Left PCA territory
FLAIR signal	Hyperintense (bright) signal in the left occipital region - confirms infarct/gliosis
T2 signal	Hyperintense in the same region
T1 signal	Hypointense (dark) - cavitation/encephalomalacia
DWI/ADC	Large areas of abnormal diffusion signal visible in lower/posterior slices (row 4-5 in film 3), suggesting either acute-on-chronic component or laminar necrosis
Ventricles	Ex-vacuo dilatation of the left posterior horn, confirming volume loss
White matter	Extensive periventricular and deep white matter FLAIR hyperintensities - chronic small vessel disease
Cerebellum	Lower cuts (bottom rows, film 3) show abnormal signal bilaterally in the cerebellar hemispheres - possible additional posterior circulation involvement

Summary for Presentation

Diagnosis: Chronic left PCA territory infarct (left occipital lobe) with encephalomalacia, on a background of diffuse small vessel ischemic disease

Modalities: NCCT + MRI (T1, T2, FLAIR, DWI)

Key teaching points:

PCA infarcts classically present with contralateral homonymous hemianopia (here: right-sided)
CT shows hypodensity + ex-vacuo ventricular dilatation in chronic infarct (distinguishes from acute)
MRI-FLAIR best delineates the extent; DWI confirms any active ischemic component
Background leukoaraiosis suggests underlying hypertensive small vessel disease - common in elderly patients

Disclaimer: This analysis is AI-assisted from photographs of films and should be correlated with the formal radiology report and clinical findings before use in any patient care context.

mark in the MRI also so that i can tell them tomorrow

"""
Annotate brain scan images to highlight the Left PCA territory infarct
for presentation use.

Image layout (all images 960x1280):
- Each film is a grid of axial brain slices arranged in rows and columns.
- The infarct is in the LEFT occipital lobe (which appears on the RIGHT side
  of each image slice in standard radiological convention).

Film 1 (CT): 5-column x 5-row grid of slices (approx 192px wide, 256px tall each)
Film 2 (MRI): 7-column x 7-row grid (approx 137px wide, 183px tall each)
Film 3 (MRI): 7-column x 7-row grid (approx 137px wide, 183px tall each)

The occipital/posterior slices are in rows 2-4 of each film.
Left occipital = right side of each slice panel.

What is marked on each image:

CT (annotated_CT.jpeg)

Red rectangles on the right side of posterior slice panels (rows 2-3, cols 3-4) - this is where the left occipital hypodensity/encephalomalacia sits
Yellow arrows pointing into each marked zone
Bottom label: "LEFT PCA TERRITORY INFARCT" with the radiological convention reminder (right side of slice = left brain)

MRI Film 2 (annotated_MRI2.jpeg)

Red boxes on the right side of slices in rows 0-4, cols 5-6 (T2, T1, FLAIR sequences)
Yellow arrows on the most conspicuous rows (1-2)
Cyan sequence labels on the left margin (T2, T1, FLAIR, DWI)
Bottom label explaining the red boxes

MRI Film 3 (annotated_MRI3.jpeg)

Red boxes on posterior columns across rows 0-4
Green labels highlight the DWI rows (rows 3-4) - this is your key slide moment: bright DWI signal = restricted diffusion = ischemic infarct
Yellow arrows pointing to DWI-positive slices
Bottom labels explaining FLAIR hyperintensity + DWI restriction

One slide tip for tomorrow: Point out that on DWI (green-labeled rows in MRI3), the bright signal on the right side of those slices = the left occipital lobe is infarcted - that's why the patient has right homonymous hemianopia. That's the most visually striking teaching point.
