    MR imaging appearance of PML. T2 (A) and ADC maps with total (B) and central high (>160 × 10−5 mm2/s, indicated by pink and white in C) ADC values with corresponding regions of interest. The lesion demonstrates a typical pattern of high ADC in the center with decreasing values toward the periphery.

    Fig 2.

    Changing ADC/DWI measurements in patients with rapid lesion progression and IRIS. A, A small initial lesion has no area of central high ADC (values >160 × 10−5 mm2/s, indicated by pink and white). B, One month after therapy, areas of both the total lesion and central high ADC core have substantially increased.

    Fig 3.

    Changing ADC/DWI measurements in patients with slow lesion progression. A, The initial lesion has no area of central high ADC (values >160 × 10−5 mm2/s, indicated by pink and white). B, One month after therapy, ADC values in the lesion center have increased but only slightly and to a lesser magnitude than lesions in patients with rapid progression.
