Imaging CNS Infection: Now more relevant than ever

As the authors were preparing and writing the 2023 issue of central nervous system (CNS) infections, they did so in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sickness, uncertainty, and fear affected us radiologists and other health care professionals just as they did all humanity; however, this difficult time can also represent an opportunity to increase our awareness of the importance of infectious diseases. For too long, these diseases have been neglected and underserved, with an unequal burden of human suffering falling on low- and middle-income countries: what might appear to be an “exotic” case to radiologists in the developed world can actually be far too common, and we don’t know about it because of our ignorance and inadequate access to advanced imaging technology.
