What is Mycetoma Imaging: the Best Practice about?

## Abstract Mycetoma is a recognised neglected tropical disease that for a long time has been accorded inadequate attention across the globe. It is a chronic destructive inflammatory disease caused by fungi (eumycetoma) or actinomycetes (actinomycetoma). Mycetoma treatment depends on an accurate and precise diagnosis. The cornerstone for proper disease diagnosis is identification of the causative organisms, but also critical for diagnosis and management planning is determination of its extent along and across tissue planes. An initial diagnosis is made after clinical assessment. Clinical examination alone does not identify the causative organism nor does it detect the spread of disease along the different tissue planes and bone. Imaging techniques, such as radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging can be used to determine the extent of lesions. In this communication, the Mycetoma Research Centre, World Health Organization Collaborating Centre on Mycetoma, University of Khartoum, presents its experience and recommendations on mycetoma diagnostic imaging.
