Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the use of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in MRI to differentiate between fungal and bacterial skull base osteomyelitis (SBO).
- Researchers conducted a retrospective review of 142 SBO patients and found that the most common pathogens were Pseudomonas, Aspergillus, and Staphylococcus aureus.
- Despite noting a difference in the average ADC values between infected and normal tissues, the results showed no significant difference between the ADC values of bacterial and fungal SBO, highlighting the importance of early biopsies for accurate diagnosis.
