Suspicious false-negative finding for skull base invasions by SECT images in a 54-year-old man with NPC. A The axial SECT images (bone window) show suspicious sclerosis at the left sphenoid body (red arrow). The DECT images (B, IO image; C, Zeff image) directly show marked skull base invasions with higher iodine concentrations than right sphenoid body (green arrow). D The MRI images (fat-suppressed T1-weighted image after gadolinium administration) confirm the same extent of bone invasions as the DECT images with contrast enhancement
