CryptoCEST: A promising tool for spatially resolved identification of fungal brain lesions and their differentiation from brain tumors with MRI

Infectious brain lesions caused by the pathogenic fungi Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii, also referred to as cryptococcomas, could be diagnosed incorrectly as cystic brain tumors if only based on conventional magnetic resonance (MR) images. Previous MR spectroscopy (MRS) studies showed high lo...
