MR imaging is commonly used in the diagnosis and monitoring of cerebral abscess, especially diffusion weighted imaging. However, the use of advanced diffusion models has yet to be seen with respect to this type of brain mass. The stretched-exponential, intra-voxel incoherent, and kurtosis diffusion models not only generate diffusivity coefficients, but also other parameters that may prove valuable in properly understanding the structure and progression of such lesions.
