  • Title: The role of computed tomography and radionuclide scintigraphy in the localization of osteomyelitis in flat bones.
    Author: Hernandez RJ, Conway JJ, Poznanski AK, Tachdjian MO, Dias LS, Kelikian AS.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 1985; 5(2):151-4. PubMed ID: 3921565.
    Abstract:
    The combined use of radionuclide scintigraphy and computed tomography is recommended for evaluating children with laboratory and clinical data suggestive of flat bone osteomyelitis despite normal conventional radiographs. In addition, computed tomography may be helpful in the presence of abnormal radiographs in determining the exact location of the focus of osteomyelitis and the most suitable route for appropriate drainage or to obtain culture material.
