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.
