Magnetic resonance imaging in methanol poisoning

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown a high degree of sensitivity in quantifying the damage and prognosis of lesions induced by acute methanol poisoning. Although there are very few reported cases, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) may help to complete neuroimaging studies in these pat...

Description
Summary:Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown a high degree of sensitivity in quantifying the damage and prognosis of lesions induced by acute methanol poisoning. Although there are very few reported cases, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) may help to complete neuroimaging studies in these patients.
