Abstract:
In 4/12 patients with subacute or chronic osteomyelitis MRI was able to detect bone sequestrae by use of gadolinium DTPA. This method is of great advantage in cases of infections not originating from osteosynthetic material. In patients in whom osteosynthetic material was removed completely, invisible metallic residuals may lead to signal deterioration.
