Prion disease
Changes in the basal ganglia seen in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. (A) Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI and (B) diffusion-weighted MRI of the same patient demonstrate bilateral basal ganglia hyperintensities (arrows). There is also mild bilateral medial thalamus and pulvinar hyperintensity

Prion disease
Diffuse cortical ribboning (arrows) seen on (A) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and less so on (B) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI. Both sequences show cerebral cortex gyral hyperintensities

Prion disease
Bilateral medial thalamus and pulvinar hyperintensity (arrowheads) on (A) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and (B) diffusion-weighted MRI in a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob. This patient also has significant basal ganglia hyperintensity on both sequences (arrows)
