MRI scan is not needed for diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis and is considered only in cases of dissemination involving brain. MRI brain is considered more sensitive than CT for the diagnosis of meningitis or CNS spread[1]
MRI Brain
- Calcified nodules may be seen in brain parenchyma, but are difficult to distinguish from other such lesions caused by bacterial and fungal organisms.
