Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of Fungal Cerebral Infection AJNR 26:1115-1121, Gaviani,P.,et al, 2005 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Fungal cerebral abscesses may have central restricted diffusion similar to that of bacterial abscesses but with histologic features of acute or chronic inflammation and necrosis rather than suppuration. Altered water diffusion in these lesions likely reflects highly proteinaceous fluid and cellular infiltration.
