Abstract:
Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHOM) is primarily a disease in infants and children. Early diagnosis of AHOM in children is essential to prevent complications and long-term morbidity. The diagnosis of AHOM could be challenging as presentation varies with the child's age and type of pathogen. It is the role of the radiologist to suggest the appropriate imaging modality for the diagnosis of AHOM and evaluation of complications. This article discusses the current multimodality imaging approach for early diagnosis of AHOM, and evaluation of complications to guide treatment.
