There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
MRI
Findings on MRI suggestive of rabies include:
- Areas of increased T2 signaling may be seen in:[1]
- Hippocampus
- Hypothalamus
- Brainstem
- Rabies encephalitis may involve
- Increased T2 signal predilection for the basal ganglia, thalami, hypothalami, brainstem, limbic system, and spinal cord as well as the frontal and parietal lobes
- In paralytic rabies, involvement of the spinal cord and medulla may be more pronounced
