We describe the CT appearance of pulmonary zygomycosis (mucormycosis), an opportunistic infection typically occurring in immunocompromised patients. ⋯ In the appropriate clinical circumstance, nodules or mass-like or wedge-shaped consolidation, especially posteriorly in the upper lobes of the lung, should suggest zygomycosis. Endobronchial zygomycosis is less common.

High resolution, magnetization transfer saturation, variable flip angle, time-of-flight MRA in the detection of intracranial vascular stenoses.
Factors that restrict 3D TOF MRA are limited resolution, saturation of flow, and degree of background suppression. We evaluated MRA for intracranial stenoses by using a 3D TOF technique that minimizes these factors. ⋯ High resolution MTS TONE 3D TOF MRA is an accurate technique for the screening of medium and large vessel intracranial stenoses.
