MRI is superior to CT scan to detect the complications of bacterial meningitis such as subdural or epidural empyema and vasculitic complications. FLAIR(fluid attenuated inversion recovery) weighted images may be preffered modality for complications such as subdural or epidural empyema. However, early parenchymal complications and differentiating pyogenic abscess from other ring enhancing lesions caused by other etiologies may be better determined by DWI(diffusion weighted imaging). | |||

Overview
MRI scan
MRI is superior to CT scan to detect the complications of bacterial meningitis such as subdural or epidural empyema and vasculitic complications. FLAIR(fluid attenuated inversion recovery) weighted images may be preffered modality for complications such as subdural or epidural empyema. However, early parenchymal complications and differentiating pyogenic abscess from other ring enhancing lesions caused by other etiologies may be better determined by DWI(diffusion weighted imaging).
