Fig 3.

The calcified stage of NCC without edema in the left frontal lobe in a 34-year-old woman who presented with recurrent complex partial seizures. The lesion appears hypointense on T2 image (A) and SWAN image (B) and shows a negative phase in the center with a peripheral positive phase consistent with calcified cysticercous granuloma on a filtered phase image extracted from the SWAN imaging (C). Postcontrast T1-weighted image does not show any definite enhancement (D). On color-coded CBF [rCBF = 1.5 (E)], CBV [rCBV=1.3 (F)], k_ep [k_ep = 0.8 minutes⁻¹ (G)], K^trans [K^trans = 0.02 minutes⁻¹ (H)], and v_e [v_e = 0.05 (I)] maps, the abnormal changes are clearly evident in and around the lesion.
