Overview
MRI
MRI of the brain is performed in patients with neurological deficits.
The following neurologic abnormalities may be seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI):[1][2]
- "Starfield" pattern of diffuse, punctate, hyperintense lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging.
- These findings correlate with the degree of neurological clinical impairment.
