Neuroimaging modalities in persons living with HIV

Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)	Cortical and subcortical brain volumes
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)	Metabolites associated with inflammation, neuronal integrity, and neuronal transmission
TSPO PET imaging	Activated microglia imaging indicative of neuroinflammation
Functional MRI	Neural network activity and functional connectivity
Diffusion tensor imaging	White matter integrity

TSPO, 18-kDa translocator protein; PET, positron-emission tomography; MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy
