Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) in MRI can differentiate active progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) lesions from inactive ones. This helps distinguish active infection and cell swelling from reparative gliosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neuropathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a serious demyelinating disease.
  • Accurate MRI assessment is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) was performed on two PML patients.
  • Pathology findings of one patient were correlated with MRI.

Findings:

  • Lesion appearance on DWI and ADC varied with disease stage.
  • Active lesions showed normal-to-low ADC and high DWI signal.
  • Inactive lesions demonstrated increased ADC and low DWI signal.

Implications:

  • DWI and ADC can differentiate active PML from inactive or gliotic areas.
