Vascular inflammation is widely recognized as an important factor in the atherosclerotic process, particularly in terms of plaque development and progression. Conventional tests, such as measuring circulating inflammatory biomarkers, lack the precision to identify specific areas of vascular inflammation. In this context, noninvasive imaging modalities can detect perivascular fat changes, serving as a marker of vascular inflammation.

Suspicion raised on brain MRI must be confirmed by a histopathological diagnosis of a tumour specimen collected by stereotactic biopsy. In rare cases, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or vitreous humour might aid in providing a cytological diagnosis.

- This multicentric study investigated neuroradiological findings in COVID-19 patients during the early pandemic in Italy, focusing on data collected from May to June 2020 at two hospitals.
- A total of 415 patients were enrolled, with notable findings including ischemic stroke (29.4% of patients) and a variety of non-stroke neuroimaging lesions like PRES-like syndrome and encephalitis.
- The study concluded that COVID-19 patients are at increased risk of strokes due to a pro-thrombotic environment, reinforcing findings observed globally regarding brain imaging in infected patients.
