Beyond the brain : Extra-axial pathology on diffusion weighted imaging in neuroimaging

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has a central role in the assessment of the brain parenchyma, particularly in the context of acute stroke. However, the applications of DWI extend far beyond the brain parenchyma and include the assessment of the extra-axial structures of the head and neck that are included in routine brain imaging. In this pictorial review, the added-value of DWI over other conventional sequences is illustrated through discussion of a broad range of disorders affecting the vasculature, skull, orbits, nasal cavity and salivary glands. This article highlights the requirement for all structures, both intra- and extra-axial, to be carefully reviewed on DWI.
