Magnetic resonance imaging in central nervous system tuberculosis
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 10/29/09
Trivedi R et al. – Routine diagnostic techniques involve culture and immunological tests of the tissue and biofluids, which are time–consuming and may delay definitive management. Noninvasive imaging modalities such as computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging are routinely used in the diagnosis of neurotuberculosis, with MRI offering greater inherent sensitivity and specificity than CT scan. In addition to conventional MRI imaging, magnetization transfer imaging, diffusion imaging, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques are also being evaluated for better tissue characterization in CNS TB.
