Abstract:
Understanding the rationale of contrast media use in MR imaging is based on knowledge of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and the pathophysiology of infectious agents attacking the central nervous system. This article focuses on the relationship between BBB structures and functions in healthy and unhealthy conditions and contrast media in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
