Diffusion‐weighted imaging characteristics of methotrexate‐induced acute encephalopathy

Methotrexate (MTX)‐induced encephalopathy is a grave complication in patients with malignancies. The early diagnosis of acute encephalopathy was difficult by conventional computed tomography (CT), and T1‐ or T2‐weighted magnet resonance (MR) imaging. We report that the diffusion‐weighted (DW) imagin...

description Methotrexate (MTX)‐induced encephalopathy is a grave complication in patients with malignancies. The early diagnosis of acute encephalopathy was difficult by conventional computed tomography (CT), and T1‐ or T2‐weighted magnet resonance (MR) imaging. We report that the diffusion‐weighted (DW) imaging is useful for early detection of acute leukoencephalopathy.
