This is a T2 weighted MRI or Gadolinium enhanced MRI (can't tell which) showing a 3cm by 2cm heterogenous vascular lesion at the anterior limb of the right internal capsule/frontal lobe. Working diagnosis is a tumour that could be primary or secondary, probably a GBM, could also be infective process eg abscess (less likely).
