Abstract

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) provides image contrasts that are different from conventional magnetic resonance techniques. DWI is particularly sensitive for detecting acute ischemic stroke, but it also has many other clinical applications, including the evaluation of central nervous system (CNS) infections. This article addresses the role of DWI in the differential diagnosis of CNS infections, and discusses the most common DWI findings for each type of infection.
