MR Target Sign in Cerebral Aspergillosis

Magnetic resonance (MR) is an effective imaging modality in the evaluation of infectious brain disease, yet findings are often nonspecific. The presence of a diagnostic feature can facilitate early treatment, particularly where mortality is high. We highlight MR apparent diffusion coefficient/T2-wei...

Description
Summary:Magnetic resonance (MR) is an effective imaging modality in the evaluation of infectious brain disease, yet findings are often nonspecific. The presence of a diagnostic feature can facilitate early treatment, particularly where mortality is high. We highlight MR apparent diffusion coefficient/T2-weighted target sign in the diagnosis of cerebral aspergillosis.
