Purpose of ReviewEven though there are latest advances on immunocompromised patient care, the mortality by invasive fungal infection still high. Invasive aspergillosis is one of the main complications during immunosuppression and on hematological malignancy patients, with a mortality varying from 50 to 80%. Imaging studies are fundamental on the evaluation of fungal suspicion, and concerns related to radiation dose on image examinations are high nowadays. Magnetic resonance imaging should be considered on brain and facial sinuses evaluation to reduce radiation exposure.
