In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editor Dr. Tchoyoson Lim Choie Cheio brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Central Nervous System Infections. Infections can involve any part of the CNS and often, multiple parts of the CNS are involved at the same time. The imaging surrounding them is constantly evolving, and in this issue, key international experts provide a thorough update of the imaging of these common and pervasive infections.
