Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Brain Aspergillesis
Eur J Neurol 14:912-916, Charlot,M.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Twelve lesions, either enhancing or not enhancing, presented a �target-like� aspect with central and peripheral hypointense areas on DWI, corresponding to higher ADC value areas, and intermediate marked hypersignal on DWI. This typical aspect of aspergillosis lesions on DWI may allow early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral aspergillosis, and is helpful for differentiating aspergillosis lesions from other infectious or malignant lesions affecting immuno-compromised patients.
