Male patient 42-years-old presenting with high fever and productive cough. The laboratory tests show elevated WBCs and high ESR. A-D: Axial T1 (A), axial T2 (B), axial STIR (C), coronalT2 (D) weighted MR images show right lower lobar well defined thick walled cystic lesion with air fluid level measuring 9.6 × 9.5x14 cm along its maximum axial and craniocaudal dimensions, respectively. It elicits hypointense signal and hyperintense signal relative to the surrounding muscles on T1 and T2 respectively with surrounding lung consolidation. DWI (E) and ADC map (F) images show facilitated diffusion with LSR = 1.26, ADC mean 1.2 and ADC min 1.04. Clinical and radiological diagnosis revealed lung abscess
