Calculations are summarized for the spectral and spatial distribution of maser radiation that emerges from a turbulent Keplerian disk when viewed nearly edge-on. A close comparison is made with the refined observational data about the masing accretion disk around the presumed massive black hole at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 4258.
