==Overview==
==Overview==
[[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] is not helpful in diagnosis of [[Lyme disease]]. However, a [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] may be helpful in diagnosing [[Neurological|neurologic]] manifestation of [[Lyme disease history and symptoms|early and late disseminated Lyme disease]]. [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] scan in patients with [[neurological]] [[Lyme disease]] may demonstrate increased intensity in [[white matter]] at multiple foci on T2-weighted images suggesting [[demyelination]] or [[inflammatory]] changes. After [[antibiotic]] therapy, spontaneous resolution of [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] [[white matter]] hyper-intensities has been observed in [[Lyme disease]].
