Brain magnetic Resonance Diffusion Abnormalities in Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Arch Neurol 54:1411-1415, Bahn,M.M.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract the diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance brain images demonstrated bilaterally symmetrical marked increase in signal intensity in the caudate nuclei,putamina,thalami,cingulate gyri,and right inferior frontal cortex. The apparent diffusion coefficient map showed abnormally low diffusion in these regions(as low as 40%of normal in the caudate head).This suggests that there is restricted diffusion in these regions.The T2-weighted images demonstrated slightly increased signal bilaterally in the caudate nuclei and putamina.These findings indicate that diffusion magnetic resonance imaging might be a sensitive means of imaging the abnormalities seen in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
