Abstract
We report a patient with biopsy-proven progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) who was serially imaged with MRI and magnetization transfer imaging. The magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) was profoundly and significantly diminished when compared with normal control subjects. The pattern of MTR was distinct from that of MS and periventricular ischemic white matter disease. Magnetization transfer imaging techniques may aid in the differential diagnosis of PML.
