title: Neuroimaging findings in patients with AIDS.
abstract: An increasing number of patients are presenting with central nervous system complications of human immunodeficiency virus infection. New imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance proton spectroscopy, single-photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography are playing an ever-increasing role in the diagnosis of these complications. As therapeutic modes improve, imaging may assume a growing role in monitoring the responses to therapy among these patients.
