title: Nonischemic causes of hyperintense signals on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images: a pictorial essay.
abstract: A number of entities other than acute cerebral infarction can produce bright signal intensity on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images, and an understanding of the range of possible diagnoses for these hyperintense lesions is important for radiologists who must interpret these images.
