2,6) A diagnosis of mycetoma should be considered when computed tomography (CT) demonstrates a focal mass or diffuse area of increased radiodensity and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows a correlating marked decrease in intensity on T1- and T2-weighted imaging, making the fungus ball "invisible" as it blends with the adjacent air of the sinus.
Rather than resulting from the inexperience of radiologists, as was the case in the 1970s and 1980s, today the primary source of false-negative results are sophisticated smuggling techniques that attempt to limit detection by decreasing the radiodensity difference between drug packets and stool.
