Neuroimaging in the brain in HIV-1-infected patients.

The brain may be affected by a variety of abnormalities in association with HIV infection. Knowledge of these abnormalities and their characteristic imaging features is important to neuroradiologists for the detection, diagnosis, and initiation of appropriate treatment. This review attempts to describe the imaging findings associated with brain disorders in HIV-seropositive patients and the rationales for integrating neuroradiologic techniques.
