This is based on its tropism to cancer. By design oncolytic viruses aim to deliver transgenes and a…

is the best answer choice. This patient has findings on axial diffusion-weighted MRI, which show high signal activity in the cortex of the temporal lobes and insula, much more marked on the right. This finding is consistent with a diagnosis of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSVE). An MRI of the brain is the preferred imaging study in patients with suspected HSVE. Proton-density and T2 images may be more helpful than T1 images. An MRI can noninvasively establish many of the potential alternative…
