MRI findings in CJD include high signal abnormalities in caudate nucleus and/or putamen on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) or fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). Additional findings on diffusion weighted imaging include cortical, subcortical, and thalamic involvement. An abnormal signal in the poster thalami on T2 (pulvinar sign) and diffusion weighted images and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences on brain MRI, in the appropriate clinical context, is highly specific for variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
