Overview
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is better than computed tomography (CT) for detecting Japanese encephalitis virus-associated abnormalities such as changes in the thalamus, basal ganglia, midbrain, pons, and medulla. Thalamic lesions are the most commonly described abnormality; although these can be highly specific for JE in the appropriate clinical context, they are not a very sensitive marker of JE.
